RANA Foundation
RANA (Red de Ayuda a Niños Abusados) is a non-profit foundation in the Balearic Islands, whose social function is to prevent mistreatment and sexual abuse of children, through awareness-raising activities, education and networking. Prevention of sexual abuse begins with citizen knowledge and information. If this problem still persists in our society, it is due to silence. We believe that a fundamental step to break this silence are awareness campaigns, the training of professionals and adults responsible for protecting children, and prevention programs.
This educational introduction to child sexual abuse helps you learn how to prevent, detect and act responsibly. It is developed in various fields, such as education, sports and police, among others. Make visible the problem of child sexual abuse. Train in detection and intervention by promoting good practices and promoting the creation of internal protocols for action. However, it is also a space to promote non-formal education and achieve the prevention of child sexual abuse from another perspective. https://www.fundacionrana.org/es
