The movement to end child sexual abuse starts with a single word…
ENOUGH.
Who We Are
We are a growing movement of concerned citizens, survivors, parents, school and youth-serving professionals, and others working to ensure the right of every child to a childhood free from the devastating and often lifelong consequences of child sexual abuse.






The Enough Abuse Campaign has established Massachusetts as “one of the first states in the nation to lead a trailblazing effort to prevent child sexual abuse by building a movement of concerned citizens, community by community.”
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
“The Enough Abuse Campaign breaks the mold on child sexual abuse. It goes beyond a set of trainings to foster the building of real and lasting relationships among diverse stakeholders. Its emphasis on community collaboration sets it apart from previous efforts.”
Ms. Foundation for Women

Child sexual abuse is PREVENTABLE. Using proven effective public health strategies from other social change movements like tobacco reform and child safety helmet use, we can be the generation that effectively puts an end to the silence, shame and denial that has allowed child sexual abuse to go unchallenged for so long.
Without prevention strategies, 1 in 10 children may experience child sexual abuse before age 18.
