Every Victim’s Voice Is Essential (EVVIE) is a group comprised of five survivors of children’s harmful sexual behaviour (child-on-child sexual abuse), and three researchers. The aim of EVVIE is to protect children from harmful sexual behaviour (HSB). Objectives include: 

  1. Amplify voices of victim-survivors 
  1. Raise community/public awareness about HSB 
  1. Advocate to government and non-government decision-makers 
  1. Engage key stakeholders to influence policy and practice 
  1. Mentor survivors who are early on their “recovery journey.”
