Child Victims Act

The Child Victims Act is a law that allows survivors of childhood sexual abuse to seek justice more easily. It extends the time limit for these survivors to file civil lawsuits against their abusers and institutions that may have covered up the abuse. The law acknowledges the long-lasting impacts of such trauma, providing a one-year window for those who previously missed the deadline to bring their cases forward. This act aims to hold offenders accountable and support healing for victims through legal avenues.
