Protecting Every Voice: Supporting Multilingual Children in Abuse Prevention and Response

Multilingual children face unique challenges in disclosing and seeking help for child sexual abuse (CSA). Language barriers, cultural stigma, and differing norms around communication and authority can influence a child’s and family’s ability to access support.

This presentation explores the experiences of multilingual children of Latino/Hispanic and Asian descent, while drawing broader implications for children from diverse minority backgrounds. The session will equip professionals with tools to navigate the complexities of CSA within multilingual families through the lens of cultural humility and trauma-informed care. Understanding one’s own identity is pivotal to practicing cultural humility and fostering trust with children and families from multilingual backgrounds.
