"I was never taught what warning signs I should be worried about. I had no idea what grooming was or how it worked. I knew I wanted romance and sex, but I didn’t understand how those feelings could be exploited and make me into a target." https://buff.ly/3fYOkOY

As the year comes to a close, we would like to remind you that all donations until the rest of the year are doubled! #GivingTuesday https://buff.ly/3kn7w6F

"Growing up, my understanding of consent was extremely limited. I was told by my parents that I shouldn’t let anyone touch my underwear area because “it was bad”. Why was it bad? Who knows, I was never told." https://buff.ly/3fYOkOY

Today is End Child Sex Abuse Day. We would like to take a moment to thank our supporters for supporting our mission to stop sex abuse before it happens, while upholding human rights for all. #prevention #EndChildSexAbuseDay

In April 2018, Prostasia was founded as the first sex-positive child protection organization. Though we've grown since then, our core mission of keeping kids safe has never changed. Step back in time and read the blog post that started it all. https://t.co/hgDgmwWLmT

Hi. We should probably post an #introduction. We're Prostasia Foundation, a new kind of child protection organization. I think I'll let our About page (found at http://prostasia.org/about) #introduce us:

Protecting children from sexual abuse is a cause that everyone can unite behind. Often, however, the measures we take to combat child sexual abuse (CSA) are less effective than they should be, because they are driven by emotion rather than evidence. In striving to protect children from abuse, we may end up harming them and others.
Prostasia Foundation addresses this problem by…

- helping to fund sound scientific research on CSA prevention.
- engaging with diverse stakeholders whose voices are not normally heard.
- addressing the human rights impacts of child protection laws and policies.
- communicating the results of our research and engagement to policymakers, platforms, and the public.

This uniquely balanced, rights-respecting and evidence-based approach to CSA prevention allows us not only to protect children from abuse, but also to reduce the separate harms caused to children and others by our society’s predominantly reactive child protection agenda.

We accept donations. You can find more info about that here: https://prostasia.org/donate/

And, as of 2022 we are all-volunteer run. You can find more information about joining our all-volunteer staff here (LGBTQ+ people and sex workers are welcome and strongly encouraged to apply!): https://forum.prostasia.org/t/prostasia-foundation-role-documentation/2350
