Unbelievable

1 in 4 Australians have experienced child sexual abuse.

What’s truly unbelievable isn’t the statistic — it’s the silence.

Where your donations will go

Helping young survivors find justice sooner

Your support will help Knowmore build a Youth Digital Justice Project — a safe, accessible pathway for young people seeking justice.

The challenge

For decades, survivors of child sexual abuse took an average of 23.9 years to disclose their experiences.
Today, a new generation is speaking out sooner — often online. But in doing so, many are exposed to legal risks, including defamation and privacy breaches that existing systems aren’t equipped to handle.

Our solution

We’re creating a “digital front door” — a secure, mobile-friendly service designed specifically for young people.

This service will:

  • Protect young survivors from legal risks
  • Provide access to free, specialist legal advice
  • Connect them with a dedicated Youth Worker for support

Why it matters

Every young person deserves a safe path to justice.
Because protecting children also means supporting the adults they become.
