SA’s sex offender register isn’t public and only includes reported, convicted cases.
Most offences go unreported. Many perpetrators aren’t recorded.
No safety, no reporting. No reporting, no justice.

Turning a blind eye does not make the abuse disappear.
In SA, failing to report suspected child abuse, when you are legally required to, can result in criminal charges.
It is a moral responsibility.
Choose the child. Always. Report abuse.

MYTH:Abuse is always physical.

Reaching out can feel overwhelming, but it is the first step toward support, safety, hope, and healing. You don’t have to have all the words. You don’t have to be “ready”.

MYTH: Grooming only happens online.
FACT: Grooming often happens in person by someone the child or survivor knows and trusts: a family member, coach, teacher, or community figure. It can involve gifts, attention, or special treatment to build control and silence.
Asking for help can feel difficult, but support can be life-changing.
If you or someone you know has been abused, compassionate, confidential help is available.💙
