#BeBrave Global Day of Action

Brave Movement survivors, partners and allies will unite worldwide in our #BeBrave Global Day of Action asking G7 leaders to #BeBrave to end childhood sexual violence. They'll be putting up purple commemorative plaques to remember survivors of childhood sexual violence, getting the word out on social media, holding rallies outside embassies and writing letters to ambassadors to ask them to #BeBrave. Together, we’ll be putting pressure on G7 leaders ahead of the G7 Summit June 26-28 in Germany. Find our more by exploring our #BeBrave Global Day of Action Toolkit.

Action Opportunity: Commemorative plaques are used around the world to remember great deeds and renowned people. Now the Brave Movement is using them to remember the children and adolescent survivors of childhood sexual violence. And we say to global leaders - especially the leaders of the G7 - the time to listen and act is now. You can find suggested language for the plaques, editable plaques and other tools and models in our toolkit. 

Action Opportunity: If you or your organisation want to show support for the #BeBrave Global Day of Action, you can post about us on June 9 via your social media channels using models in our social media toolkit. Share your support for the #BeBrave Global Day of Action by downloading our badges and adding them to your channels for June 9: #BeBrave Global Day of Action Badge.
