Daniela Ligiero, CEO and President of Together for Girls and Co-Founder of the Brave Movement, joins us to talk about working to end sexual violence against children and adolescents.
Daniela is a survivor of child sexual abuse and has been sharing her story publicly for around 15 years. The silence around this topic is something that needs to be tackled. Coming forward and speaking up is not easy and takes a lot courage.
Together for Girls is a global partnership uniting governments, UN Agencies, and civil society to end violence against children and adolescents, particularly sexual violence. This partnership uses a model of data and advocacy to drive action, spanning over twenty countries. With nationally led surveys, it has amassed data on over 12% of the world's population under 24 and more than 20% of children and adolescents in low-income nations.
The Brave Movement is a survivor-centered global movement fighting to end childhood sexual violence. They have two main strategies: one is to elevate and support survivor leaders and voices by showcasing their work; the second is aligned campaigning with clear focus on things such as online safety for kids and abolishing statutes of limitation.
