Our Voices Too - Working with children, young people and professionals in Europe to develop a strengths-based approach to addressing sexual violence.

This project aims to establish a European network of children and young people who are active in influencing policy and practice on preventing and responding to sexual violence and; to improve understanding amongst professionals of the need for a strengths-based approach to working with young people affected by sexual violence. Project activities include:

• Carrying out a situational analysis to understand the current status of child/youth participation in the field of sexual violence in three countries.
• Supporting partners in three countries to apply and adapt the training, tools, processes and resources developed through the LEAP project in different European countries.
• Building a European research network on ethical engagement of children and young people affected by sexual violence
• Coordinating a series of learning activities for the network including workshops and webinars.
• Building the evidence base through carrying out research on the use and impact of participatory and peer support models for young people affected by sexual violence in Europe.
