The Safe Childhoods Initiative is a philanthropically funded start‑up dedicated to ending childhood sexual violence. This is a pivotal moment: awareness, evidence, and political attention are rising, but philanthropic investment has not kept pace. Our mission is to close that gap by moving significant, sustained funding into the wider ecosystem with coherence, confidence, and long‑term intent. We are a small, ambitious, and entrepreneurial team working closely with thoughtful philanthropists, practitioners, and researchers. The work is evolving and requires judgement, curiosity, and comfort with ambiguity — and offers the chance to help shape how a historically neglected field is funded.
