Help Survivors of sexual abuse get their rights!
Sexual abuse means the end of childhood. Survivors often need years to be able to talk about their ordeals let alone to fight for their rights. The limitation period of sexual abuse in civil law in Germany prevents for many survivors to ever get justice.
Norbert Denef a survivor of sexual abuse in a catholic diocece created this petition and fights to repeal the limitation period for many years.
The German government declined his petition against the Limitation Period. But he does not give up. He appealed at the European Court for Human Rights against that decision. More than ever he needs your help and your signature to repeal a legislation that helps the abuser but not the survivor.
Please help survivors to get their rights!
We the undersigned support Norbert Denef's appeal against the decision of the German Government to decline his petition "Repeal the Limitation Period of Sexual Abuse in Civil Law".
Survivors often need years to be able to talk about their ordeal. This is often a lot longer than the Limitation Period allows. They deserve
every support from family, friends and most importantly from the State. Abuse and Rape is a crime against human and civil rights. No one should be hindered to get his or her right because of a time limit.
