How did it all begin?

In the summer of 2022, the idea was born to help victims of sexual abuse and harassment on the internet and to improve the situation in Slovakia. We named ourselves as the Verejnosť Proti community and started to take an interest in this problem in Slovakia. We started gathering stories from minors, who often didn't tell anyone about their experiences.

No fiction, but real situations

Priest that sexually abused a 12-year-old girl and now he is at home with only a 3-year probation. 

A man who sexually abused 21 victims is now only on house arrest.

1357 people were convicted of sexual offences in 2021, of which up to 941 were given only suspended sentences.

Our experiment

As part of our activities, we set up a profile of a 13 year old girl. We received messages from men between the ages of 30 and 50, with 40 new requests in 4 hours. We were asked for nude photos, swimsuit photos, and ankle photos until the proposals for personal meetings came. Not only that, but we scheduled a meeting between a 40 year old man and a 13 year old fictitious person. The meeting was unsuccessful after we arrived, the man locked himself in the car and left.

The story of 15 year old Laura - The man from the playroom 

"I was going to the store, but I had to pass by this playroom. A man came out of it. I looked at him and smiled, and he smiled back. Later, I noticed he was walking behind me. Later, he came running to me and asked, "Hey, how are you?" I said, "Hi, I'm fine." Later, he started saying that I had a nice “ass” and that he knew what he would do with it. I told him to stop, but he didn't. I wanted to go home, but he grabbed my “ass” and said, "Stop!" Then he was holding me and touching me. I was so shocked that I couldn't even scream. Somehow, I managed to escape, but he wanted to beat me up. He cursed at me for a long time after that. The police didn't do anything about it. After that, I had bruises on my chest and quite a lot of psychological damage." 

Our First Presentation

We have recently organized our very first presentation at Premonstranske Gymnasium located in Košice. During this important presentation, we were able to teach kids about how to prevent sexual abuse and harassment. This was a very useful experience, and we are determined to maintain our work in educating the public and equipping the youth with means to shield themselves.

International Women's Day

On International Women's Day, we handed out 600 flowers on the streets of Kosice to thank women and talk about our organization's work against abuse.

Our dream

Our main dream is to buy a car because without it, we can't reach many schools for presentations. We need a vehicle to carry our equipment and share safety information with more people.

Rasied funds

Your donations will support our efforts to develop educational materials and resources. Funds raised will enable us to organize workshops and seminars in schools, where we'll educate children on how to stay safe online as well as on the streets. We'll use a portion of the funds to purchase needed equipment, such as computers and projectors, and other electronics, and also we will use funds to buy a car, enabling us to transport equipment for presentations and reach a wider audience with sexual abuse awareness.

Become Our Sponsor!

Your donation can make you our sponsor. Get your business logo on our car (if we have enough funds to cover it) and have your name or business recognized on our website. To become our sponsor, contact us via email at [email protected].

Quite simply, we don't want any more stories like this to happen. We want our children to not be afraid to go outside. We want to take an action, and that is why we need your support.
