Project Harmony Supports #MeToo #IWill Movement

#MeToo and #IWill are the latest two rally cries throughout social media. This movement is not about a problem that happened in the past. It’s a problem that is still happening today and it can happen anywhere, and at any age.

One out of 10 children is sexually abused before their 18th birthday. This means that in any classroom or neighborhood full of children, there are children who are silently bearing the burden of sexual abuse. Whether you work with youth, are a parent or are simply a member of a community – it is highly likely that someone you know and care for has experienced, or is currently experiencing, child sexual abuse.

#MeToo should open our eyes to sexual abuse and the tendency of society to cover it up at the expense of our children. The stories, as they unfold, are the reality in families, communities, and admired institutions everywhere – including our own community.

It is the hope of Project Harmony ( ProjectBeSomeone.org) that this social media movement can be a catalyst to open hearts and minds to the devastating problem of child sexual abuse. Together, let’s say, “No more!” Together, we can end child abuse. But to do this, we all have to have a stake in it. You have to have a stake in it. You are part of the solution.

Did someone you know say #MeToo? Start your #IWill by taking the pledge to be someone in the life of a child today at ProjectBeSomeone.org. With your help, we can go from #IWill to #WeWill #BeSomeone.
