GIVING CHILD VICTIMS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE A SECOND CHILDHOOD

Helping them to learn that “one does not remain a victim for a lifetime.

“Against child abuse, it is not enough to be indignant. We must mobilize, denounce, act.”

Key Focus

Each year we host a few dozen children whose cases we follow in courts in our art weeks supervised by child experts and art therapists.

We provide long-term care and accompaniment for affected children and parents.

Several impact studies have confirmed the therapeutic benefits of our retreats.

Summer Camps

and Healing Retreats

The “Summer Camp“ concept for traumatized children was developed and launched by Mrs Homayra Sellier, the founder of “Innocence in Danger” in 2002.

The concept was taken over by Germany, Colombia, Austria, France, and the US.

Studies carried out by international experts since 2002 have proven the beneficial impacts of this program.

Benefits of Our Summer Camps
