WHO ARE WE

At the Vicki Bernadet Foundation, we have been working since 1997 on comprehensive care, prevention and awareness of sexual abuse of minors committed in the family and in the child's trusted environment.

  • Why does the foundation exist?

1 in 5 boys and girls suffer childhood sexual abuse before the age of 17.

60% will never receive any kind of help.

90% will not say anything until adulthood.

Walking with society towards one tomorrow in what the boys and girls do not suffer sexual abuse.
  • Who is Vicki Bernadet?

Vicki was a victim of sexual abuse from the ages of 9 to 17 and did not disclose it until she was 34. The moment of disclosure, as in most cases, involved facing two realities: the reaction of the family environment and the lack of specialized resources to go to for help.

Her fighting spirit, non-conformism and determination led her in 1997 to create the institution that now bears her name so that other victims would not have to experience the same rejection, incomprehension and loneliness.

In 1997, the organization was created with the aim of offering comprehensive and specialized care to all those affected directly or indirectly by sexual abuse in childhood, becoming a leading Foundation in this field, which has one based in Barcelona and another in the Autonomous Community of Aragon.

Aware that it is not possible to work exclusively in a palliative way on the consequences of child sexual abuse, one of the central axes of the work of Vicki and her organization is prevention and awareness so that it can be talked about without secrecy or taboos.

Through an effective strategy of communication and social awareness, it is being achieved that sexual abuse of minors is discussed in the media, that it is discussed in schools and that it is addressed from institutions related to childhood.
