Child sexual abuse is a violation of human rights and a major global public health problem, having severe short- and long-term consequences on the physical, mental, social, emotional, and economic well-being of children and adolescents, their families, and the greater communities in which they live. In 2018 the IRC partnered with the global CP and GBV AoRs and the Norwegian Refugee Council to launch the  Child and Adolescent Survivors Initiative, an inter-agency initiative funded by OFDA to improve the quality of and access to services for child and adolescent survivors of sexual abuse by strengthening coordination between CP and GBV actors.
