Public education to increase understanding about rape and child sexual abuse, change discriminatory attitudes and practices, and foster support for victim services and prevention efforts. Public/private partnerships and innovative service delivery models that encourage victims to report sexual abuse, enhance their access to services, and support justice and healing.
