End abuse, exploitation, trafficking and all forms of violence against and torture of children
United States
Resources
- Child abuse helpline for victims, survivors, and supporters. https://www.childhelp.org/hotline/
Lay person tasks
- Support the creation of services for victims of childhood torture. At the moment, there is only one organization in the world that provides services.
- Support services that help people who have aged out of foster care.
- Support children's rights, and make it a priority in the way you vote. Children are the most vulnerable and oppressed group, as they are entirely dependent on the people around them. Politicians often don't care about children because they can't vote.
- Support abuse and trafficking prevention education in K-12 education.

System

Stock-and-flow structures
- Professional Friends (based on “it takes a village” idea): are not mandated reporters, service is available 24/7/365 for parents who need emotional support, assistance with domestic tasks, or other parenting needs. This is both for parents whose kids are at risk of entering the system and for foster parents.
