STOP EDUCATOR-CHILD EXPLOITATION

We are a group of survivors of sexual abuse perpetrated by school teachers. 

This abuse has impacted us in terrible and life-altering ways. 

After discovering how similar our experiences were despite being victimized by different teachers in different schools, different provinces, and different decades, we realized how similar and endemic sexual abuse by schoolteachers is. We also realized how poorly understood and managed the issue is by the institutions charged with protecting students, and administering consequences. 

As children, we had no voice and no power. As adult survivors, we feel we must speak out on behalf of current students. We have done our homework and examined current administrative policies and structures. Little has changed since we were children. 

This means that students are not safe in their schools, and they will remain in danger until significant changes are made.
