The list of topics is available here. Anonymous contributions are accepted and requests for anonymity will of course be honoured.
Please remember to send in a mail with all necessary links or just your input to csa.awareness.april@gmail.com so that we can track your contribution and make sure that it is not inadvertently lost or something.
U can also support it simply by adding our the logo of the initiative in your blog’s sidebar. Grab the below code to do so
Some guidelines
1) Please precede the title of your post with CSAAM April 2011. Then add a hyphen and your title.
2) Please insert the badge html(above) in your post. If you carry it on your sidebar for the entire month of April too apart from just within your post, we would be honoured.
3) If you refer to sources for information kindly italicise that part of your post which is taken from the source and provide the link to the original source in a bracket.

I am sorry it took me so long, but I finally got around to writing about the initiative on my blog: http://my2centstoo.blogspot.com/2011/04/csaam-april-2011-great-initiative.html
Will put up a post soon, with personal experiences and how I am preparing my daughters to guard themselves against sexual abuse.

Thank you, Imps 🙂
Just discovered your blog. Very happy to see that some one is writing and working in this direction.
I would like to contribute too. Right now putting the badge on my blog.
Just one question, is this title of the blog for this month only, or it remains the same always?
regards
This blog will be updated all through April 2011. It will be public and visible after April is over and, of course, its name will stay the same: Child Sexual Abuse Awareness Month – April 2011.
The next post will be up in about half an hour, around 9:15 pm IST.
Thanks, Cee 🙂
have shared this on cross of change fb group, and tweeted @shevab1 we post about this issue all the time, but april has become a time of focus, and extra activity. The uk still also celebrates survivors of csa in september, in 93 we had our first public rally and launched the purple ribbon 11th sept. just a bit of little known history.
oops this has the correct link to our group
Thank you Sheva, that’s very encouraging.
Only helping to spread the message:
