Preventing child sexual assault is the BIGGEST CHILD PROTECTION CHALLENGE we are facing in Australia today.
Every two hours in Australia, a child is sexually harmed in some way. It could be a child in your life, or someone you know. It doesn’t discriminate.
You are invited to take up the challenge by getting involved in White Balloon Day on Friday 10th September 2021.
This event is proudly supporting BRAVEHEARTS.
Bravehearts key purpose is to educate, empower and protect Australian kids from sexual assault.
