One in five children in Europe fall victim to sexual predators. Meanwhile, as studies show only 50 percent of parents in Poland talk to their kids about the dangers of sexual abuse.

The Nobody’s Children foundation in Warsaw has therefore set out to educate adults on how to protect their offspring against the threat.

“There’s a feeling of shame, guilt, helplessness, and that’s why children more often lie, saying that nothing bad happened than saying ‘yes, it happened to me’,” psychologist Maria Keller-Hamela, deputy head of the Nobody’s Children Foundation, tells reporter Alicja Baczyńska.
