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

This low-ranking indicates significant gaps in the laws, policies, services, and systems that prevent sexual violence against children and adolescents and support survivors.  

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

The Index evaluates countries against 23 indicators covering 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, governments can strengthen prevention, expand survivor-centered services, improve accountability, and coordinate action across sectors – making meaningful progress toward eliminating sexual violence in their country and improving their ranking in the next Index cycle.

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

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.

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.
