Story
My name is Matthew McVarish, I am the European Ambassador for 'Stop the Silence: Stop Child Sexual Abuse, Inc.' and an Advisor to the board of the Moira Anderson Foundation. Stop the Silence and Moira Anderson Foundation are international partners.
I will be walking 10,000 miles on the 'Road to Change' for Stop the Silence in partnership with the Moira Anderson Foundation, visiting 31 capital cities in Europe, where the age of consent ranges from 18 down to 13 and the statutute of limitations is different in almost every nation, which prevents victims from pressing charges and allows offenders to continue abusing children. Learn more at roadtochange.eu.
Like 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys, I am a survivor of child sexual abuse (CSA). There are around 100,000,000 of us across this beautiful continent and countless new victims everyday. The Mission of Stop the Silence is to expose and stop child sexual abuse and help survivors worldwide. Learn more at www.stopcsa.org.
