Knowledge center
Three decades of research, protocols, and training materials on child sexual violence, trauma, and early childhood development — written by the people who practice this work every day.
What you will find here
Where this comes from
Everything here was written from practice. Our center in Bolivia has served child survivors every day for more than two decades, and each protocol, manual, and study on this page came out of that work — tested on real cases before it was written down, and revised when the cases proved us wrong.
That is why we publish. Across the region there is no shortage of willingness to protect children; there is a shortage of know-how. These materials are the how, made available to anyone who needs it: the organizations serving survivors, the survivor activists leading change, and the institutions whose decisions shape whether a child is protected or broken.
We hold three things at once — lived experience, frontline practice, and the neuroscience and evidence behind both. This page is where those three meet.
Use this material
Everything here exists to be used. If you are training a team, building a program, or litigating a case, write to us — we will help you find what fits.
In 30 seconds you can change a child's life
