Worldwide Sources of Help for Abuse Victims

The world is a very large area, and there are literally millions of people worldwide being abused, probably more than 1 billion. The world population is currently 6.8 billion and statistics say that 1 in 6 people are, or have been, abused, and that figure is probably on the safe side, since most victims never report the abuse. Hopefully, between this site and the sources of help below, we can do something about this number.

If you are being abused and can't find help in our for victims section, or with the links below, try this search form to look for more sources.

If you just need to talk to someone, contact me either by email through this form, or privately and anonymously through this form.

I am NOT a counselor, therapist, or any kind of licensed professional in this area and I have not had any training in this field. I'm just someone who knows a little about abuse, a lot about child sexual abuse, and I want to help victims.
