This website is the Federal Government's central portal for issues involving sexual violence against children and adolescents.

Here you will find information about the office and work of the Independent Federal Commissioner Against Child Sexual Abuse (UBSKM), about protection and help offers, about prevention, research and investigation as well as materials that can be downloaded. For survivors, relatives, specialists, scientists, journalists and anyone who is interested in the issue.

"Sexual violence is not something abstract, happening somewhere far away, at some campsite or on some server. Sexual violence is very close to us and can happen anywhere. It is time to stop pushing the thought away. And to ask ourselves: What could I do if I were confronted with it?”.
