2. Develop a long-term powerful relationship with the media to educate them about the real issues related to child abuse so that they can accurately educate the public.

4. Increase public awareness and participation in the eradication of child abuse and generate enormous visibility and demand for the end of child abuse.
What a Child Abuse Free World Looks Like:
While we get this, some folks struggle with it (Really?), which kinda reminds us of the couple who goes into a fixer upper and doesn't get the potential the realtor is talking about, but hey, what do we know. So, here's what we think a world free of child abuse looks like:
| • Children have legal rights. | • Joy is a standard and customary part of every child's day. |
| • Children matter more to us than sex. | • Children and adults get equal respect. |
| • Our children's education is more important than our Congress's salary. | • Every child is raised in love, kindness, and dignity. |
| • Children receive the same health care benefits as our politicians. | • Every child is educated, clothed, fed, and safe. |
| • Our laws support and protect our children and their rights. | • Physical punishment isn't just outlawed but laughed at. |
| • We listen to our children. | • We invest as much in children's safety and protection as we do in our military. |
| • We do something when we see an injustice toward a child. | • Countries shut down when a child is missing. |
| • Every child gets the help he or she needs when they ask for it. | • Children are tried as children in a court of law. |
| • Children are humans rather than possessions. |
• Every child has innocence until innocence naturally turns to maturity. |
| • Children's bodies are their own; we ask their permission to touch them. |
• Children are viewed as children rather than sexual or financial opportunities. |
