This country’s score places it in the middle third of those assessed in the Index

This mid-range ranking indicates that important steps have been taken to prevent and respond to sexual violence against children and adolescents. However, while certain key laws, policies, or services may exist, gaps remain in coverage, or accountability.

By strengthening coordination, investing in prevention and survivor services, and closing remaining legal and policy gaps, meaningful gains are within reach.

This score is not a judgement — it is a roadmap for progress.

The Index evaluates countries against 23 indicators covering the foundational laws, policies, programs, and services governments should have in place to end sexual violence against children and adolescents. 

By using these indicators as a step-by-step guide, countries can make meaningful progress toward eliminating sexual violence in their country and improving their ranking in the next Index cycle.

Third Richest Nation

www.bravemovement.org/campaigns/third-richest-nation

A world without childhood violence would be $7 trillion richer. This nation isn’t real. Its wealth could be. Brave Movement's survivor-led advocacy campaign at the G20 in 2025 pressured decision makers to invest in prevention, healing and justice to create stronger, happier nations.

#BeBrave G7 Scorecard 2025

www.bravemovement.org/g7

By evaluating each G7 nation’s progress on vital policy measures we're drawing global attention to the global, silent pandemic of sexual violence against children. This is a crisis that undermines the G7's commitment to building secure, prosperous, and equitable societies. Kids need bold leadership and decisive action now to be safe and thrive.

Break the record

www.togetherforgirls.org/en/press/a-record-breaking-event-now-governments-must-deliver

We broke the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ for the most countries represented at a childhood violence summit! With 120 governments attending, this first ever Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children was the largest organized event to address this issue on a global scale. Most importantly, as a result, we also broke the world’s record of inaction against childhood sexual violence.
