In 1997 Bravehearts adopted the white balloon as a symbol of support for survivors of child sexual abuse and this year September 4^th 2007 will mark the 10^th Anniversary.

“Bravehearts aims to forge a ‘movement for change’ in how paedophilia is dealt with by the criminal justice sector, government and the community at large and to provide survivors with a voice.

Advocating for both healing and preventative strategies, Bravehearts provides comprehensive counselling for child and adult survivors of child sexual assault, and is actively involved in education, prevention, early intervention and research programs”, Mr Roberts said.

“As a community we need to make a stand and show society that sexual assault is not acceptable”, Anthony Roberts MP, Member for Lane Cove said.

“It is simple to get involved, just display a white balloon tomorrow in your office, home, fence, mailbox or anywhere it can be seen”, said Mr Roberts.
