The Child Victims Act

The Child Victims Act is a law designed to help survivors of childhood sexual abuse seek justice. It extends the time frame for victims to file lawsuits against their abusers and those who may have covered up the abuse. This law allows survivors, even those whose claims were previously barred by the statute of limitations, to pursue action in court. The act aims to support healing and accountability by recognizing the challenges many survivors face in coming forward. It serves as a significant step in addressing past injustices and empowering victims to reclaim their narratives.
