Fund to support children and youth victims of sexual abuse in Macedonia

In the world: around one million children are victims of sexual abuse yearly. The statistics show that the female children are five times more frequently victims of sexual abuse in comparison with males, i.e. each third girl and each seventh boy are victims of pedophiles. In 89,75 % of the cases the abuse lasts several years, and in 10,25 % cases for several months.

Being stroked by the everyday news and events about sexual abuse to children and youth, CIRa and the First Children Embassy in the World – Medgjasi initiated the Campaign for fundraising by citizens and enterprises for establishment of a Fund to support children and youth victims of sexual abuse in Macedonia on September 26, 2008. The initiative is supported by celebrities, media and civil society organizations in the Republic of Macedonia.
