CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IS PREVENTABLE, NOT INEVITABLE.

PREVENT IT FORWARD

Prevention is an investment in current and future generations. It is a moral imperative to do everything we can to prevent child sexual abuse. And it is also common sense. 

Through the collective power of world-leading scientific research, applied insights and change-making collaboration, we continue to take steps towards a better future for our children.

"In using our family name, we want to move away from secrecy and shame. By creating MOORE, our goal is to help stop the cycle of abuse and prevent the lifelong pain and injury caused by child sexual abuse."

Dr. Stephen and Mrs. Julia Moore, Founding Donors, MOORE | Preventing Child Sexual Abuse

PILLARS OF ACTION

Investing in the prevention of child sexual abuse is dollar for dollar, the most effective investment in the potential and prosperity of future generations. We are committed to making the investment case.

Cooperation and collaboration are central to achieving prevention around the world. We are global in our outlook, always seeking partnership to strengthen, expand, and amplify the cause of prevention.

Conducting world-leading, cutting-edge scientific research is our pathway to the deeper knowledge and intelligence that enable effective and scalable interventions and policy.

The transfer of knowledge is a key part of our mission. As educators, we prioritize the pursuit of learning with the experts of tomorrow and the leaders of today.

We advocate for effective and common-sense change at the highest levels of national and international policy formulation, working with governments, regulators, and corporations.

"Society needs prevention, healing, and justice. Yet governments continue to focus more heavily on reactive measures. This is simply not enough."

Elizabeth Letourneau, PhD, Director, MOORE | Preventing Child Sexual Abuse
