Crowdfunding For Child Sex Abuse Prevention

Sex with a child without their consent is considered rape by default by many laws under the logic that a child cannot give consent. While there is enough feminist debate around this, what we can agree on is that children are more vulnerable than others and it is easier to intimidate them into sexual abuse.

Moreover, children occupy a particularly low rung in the ladder of power relations making it easier to exploit them. A healthy society needs to protect its children from exploitation. There are many ways of doing this: by legal means or by social means.

All these approaches are important and need to be integrated if we are to achieve success against child sex abuse.

There needs to be significant pressure on legislative assemblies to introduce educational measures incorporating ideas of consent in the curriculum.

In order to raise awareness about child sex abuse, any organization needs a certain amount of money. This money can come from foreign funding agencies, but this kind of funding is limited. Hence, a viable alternative is crowdfunding in India.

Crowdfunding is the process by which a group of people donates a small amount of money each in order to raise a large amount of money for a cause. Crowdfunding platforms in India have gained popularity in the last few years.

Much of their revenue comes from medical and NGO fundraising. Crowdfunding for child sex abuse prevention must incorporate both these approaches.

In case a child survivor has been very badly hurt, we need to resort to medical crowdfunding first. In other cases, NGO fundraising for legal expenses can be done. Apart from this, awareness programs among parents and teachers are very important but conducting these costs a lot of money. This is where crowdfunding sites can help us.

If you are an NGO looking to raise money in order to fight child sex abuse, you can start a fundraiser on Impact Guru, one of the largest crowdfunding platforms in India. Starting a fundraiser takes about five minutes.

Once you have started the fundraiser, you need people to donate to your campaign. This is where you use your connections with people. You need to talk to your friends and acquaintances to donate to your campaign.

The first few donations are important as they give your campaign a kind of legitimacy. As soon as you are done with the campaign you can start your project. Impact Guru usually releases money quite quickly.

In this way, you can get access to funds in an easier manner, sitting at home. Remember that crowdfunding is a low-risk, zero investment way of raising money and you should use it in the best possible way.
