The statistics on child abuse are staggering, sobering and should compel each of us to want to get involved. In the United States, a child is abused every ten seconds and, unlike cancer and many other diseases, abuse is a willful act and 100% preventable through education and law enforcement.
Every 6 hours, a child dies from abuse in this country. You need to be involved!
Children Without A Voice USA provides hospital parenting classes, pre-school and elementary classes on inappropriate touching, teen parenting classes and distributes free educational materials to shelters and other organizations on a national level. Our funding goes towards the printing of our educational materials.
Although CWAV is predominantly focused on preventing crimes against children in the United States , we do have an international presence with chapters in Brazil , Belgium , Uganda and Germany.
