Saprea's Mission to Eradicate Child Sexual Abuse & Its Traumatic Effects

At Saprea, we liberate individuals and society from child sexual abuse and its lasting impacts. We have services that help child sexual abuse survivors find healing from the traumatic effects that have often followed them into adulthood, as well as resources for parents and caregivers to learn how to lower the risk of child sexual abuse in their own homes and communities.

1 in 5 children is sexually abused before age 18—1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys. That’s approximately 1,035,000 youth in the United States who are abused each year.

The overwhelming majority of these children are abused by people they know—80% of child sexual abuse is perpetrated by someone the child knows and trusts, and at least 20% of the time, perpetrators are family members.

Child sexual abuse is a traumatic experience that impacts the lives of survivors long after the abuse has stopped. In fact, survivors are significantly more likely to develop mental health disorders, attempt suicide, or engage in unhealthy relationships later in life. The trauma symptoms survivors might experience are far-reaching and can create major challenges for survivors as they try to move forward.
