Giving Tuesday - Give back what the world has taken away from them
This Giving Tuesday, we are reminded that children need what matters most: protection, support, and safety. This day is more than an invitation to donate; it is a moment of reflection and compassion.
Children are the ones who will shape our future. Yet today, they are being exposed to some of the darkest and most devastating crimes imaginable — conflict, neglect, and sexual abuse — leaving lifelong scars. A new threat has also emerged, one that is more subtle and less visible: the online world.
Across the world, millions of children are living through crises no child should ever endure. Their safety, education, and mental well-being are being stripped away by forces they cannot control. Children are consistently the ones who suffer the most during conflict and war. They face the most severe violations: killing and maiming, recruitment by armed groups, sexual violence, abduction, attacks on hospitals and schools, and the denial of humanitarian aid. Beyond these direct dangers, children endure long-term and life-threatening consequences. Those living in conflict-affected areas are more likely to drop out of school, lose access to clean water, and face increased risks of illness, malnutrition, and preventable death due to the lack of vaccines and medical care.
Over the past year, thousands of children have been killed or injured simply for being caught in the crossfire, while millions more have been forced to flee their homes. From Gaza to Sudan, from Ukraine to Haiti, children are being denied the most basic rights — food, safety, shelter, and education — and exposed to devastating forms of harm, including hunger, malnutrition, and homelessness.
These children are not numbers. Each one carries a story marked by fear, loss, and unimaginable hardship. On this Giving Tuesday, your support can help restore what conflict takes away — safety, stability, and the chance to heal. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps deliver the essentials that protect a child’s life.
While many children face visible danger, others are suffering in ways we cannot always see. The constant pressure of social media, exposure to online violence, and digital exploitation are leaving deep and lasting scars. Anxiety, depression, and suicide among children continue to rise globally. Behind every screen may be a child who feels invisible, overwhelmed, or afraid.
At Stop Child Abuse, your support fuels our mission. Through artificial intelligence, we uncover offenders, strengthen child-protection systems, and support survivors. Every day, we work to end child abuse worldwide.
