• Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI) - SVRI is a global research initiative that aims to promote priority driven, good quality research in the area of sexual violence, particularly in developing countries.

• Oak Foundation - Oak's Child Abuse Program envisions a world in which all children are protected from sexual abuse and sexual exploitation. Recognizing that for many children these forms of abuse do not exist in isolation from other forms of abuse and violence, Oak supports initiatives that: directly address sexual abuse and sexual exploitation; and/or diminish other forms of abuse and violence that are related to or impact upon sexual abuse and sexual exploitation.

• ONE in FIVE - The Council of Europe's campaign to stop sexual violence against children has two main goals: to achieve further signature, ratification and implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse; to equip children, their families/carers and societies at large with the knowledge and tools to prevent and report sexual violence against children, thereby raising awareness of its extent."
