Watch a recording of the webinar below:
How do social norms around gender influence the way boys are affected by sexual violence?
What is being done to ensure that boys affected by sexual violence grow up in a permanent, safe and caring family or, where needed, in quality alternative care?
Sexual violence affects people of all genders, and it is vital that work is done to support everyone well. This webinar looks at specific considerations that affect boys; an area that is often lacking evidence.
