ABOUT THE DIALOGUE .
Conversations about child sexual abuse - whether they are private
discussions in our homes or public discussions in the media - always seem to
begin and end the same way. There's no doubt a problem exists, but also no
idea what we can do about it. After all, right here in Virginia 1 in 4 women
and 1 in 5 men have been a victim of child sexual assault.

Where do we even start to address such a big issue?
The answer begins with talking about the issue constructively with everyone
who is affected, and the Stop It Now!R dialogue being held in Norfolk is
designed to do just that. It will bring together survivors, recovering sex
offenders, family members, and treatment providers to offer their stories of
hope and begin to create a more optimistic reality in our community where
all adults understand the role they can play in stopping child sexual abuse
before it starts. Indeed, this is a unique opportunity to learn from those
directly affected by sexual abuse.
