Bravehearts, Australias leading child protection advocacy group and the only charity specifically and holistically dedicated to child sexual assault in Australia, holds its annual national awareness and fundraising campaign, White Balloon Day during Child Protection Week to increase awareness about child sexual assault and to highlight the need for attitudinal change in this area. This supports the significant education, prevention and early intervention programs run by Bravehearts.

Bravehearts White Balloon Day raises awareness about child sexual assault and serves as a fundraising initiative to protect children from sexual assault (through the Bravehearts education and counselling programs).

An often taboo and difficult subject to discuss, White Balloon Day sends a positive message of support to victims of child sexual assault, encouraging them to break the silence to protect themselves and others from future harms. Bravehearts encourages all Australians to wear white on Tuesday 8th September, White Balloon day.

1 in 5 Australian Children will be sexually assaulted before the age of 18 equating to an alarming 50,000 children, in Australia, every year. Most will never tell anyone. We need your help to provide these children with support and empowerment to break the silence surrounding child sexual assault.
