The Marie-Vincent Foundation supports children and teenagers victim of sexual violence by providing the services they need, in collaboration with our partners, under one roof.
65% of children supported by the Marie-Vincent Foundation are victims of severe sexual abuse, despite their young age. Sexual abuse involves more than one occurrence for close to 80% of children.
36% of teenage girls and 16% of teenage boys report having been asked for a naked or sexually suggestive photo of themselves.
Marie-Vincent helps prevent violence by focusing on education and raising awareness, and by helping children with problematic sexual behaviours.
