Standing together
To advocate for and protect kids from sexual abuse
e-kidna believes…
All children have the right to feel and be safe all the time. It is everyone’s business to make sure our children, young people, parents, carers and community are confident and capable of taking action.
We want to empower Australia to RECOGNISE | REACT | REPORT child sexual abuse.
About e-kidna
e-kidna is a partnership that grew from the passion of three national child protection organisations – Act for Kids, Bravehearts and the Daniel Morcombe Foundation – collaborating in the fight against child sexual abuse.
In Australia, more than 1 in 3 girls and almost 1 in 5 boys experience child sexual abuse (Australian Child Maltreatment Study ACMS 2023).
We need to keep kids safe NOW – stand with us in the fight against child sexual abuse.
The e-kidna hub is a platform for change, a place to loudly advocate to governments and those that can ensure change for our kids. With our collective knowledge, e-kidna offers resources for parents, carers, and those with children in their lives to understand how all adults can play a part in helping to keep kids safe.
Why e-kidna?
Echidnas are a proudly Australian animal whose spines are designed to work together to fiercely protect what is important, especially its puggles (offspring).
Much like its namesake, e-kidna has a fierce determination to protect our kids.
Help keep kids safe from sexual abuse
Knowledge about child abuse can help protect our kids from harm. We can’t predict whether children will be exposed to harm, but we can arm ourselves with reliable information about personal safety skills.
Help a child who may have been sexually harmed
Unfortunately, children are vulnerable to abuse and sometimes children are exposed to harm. A child’s safety, recovery and wellbeing can be drastically affected by when and how adults help them.
Help us stand together for system change
Child protection is everyone’s business. The responsibility of keeping kids safe falls on all adults – parents, educators, community members and policy makers.
