We are humbled by the courage of the women who spoke to us, often in fear that to do so might put them in danger and we thank the men and youth for sharing such unique and valuable insights. This was extremely difficult research to carry out and we could not have done so without the support of the agencies and professionals who helped us to reach out to research participants -thank you. We also wish to acknowledge the many national, regional and international organisations supporting the None in Three project:

In the wake of current high profile cases of child sexual abuse in the UK, this article draws international lessons from a Caribbean study to demonstrate that underpinning social values can create the conditions in which the sexual victimisation of children might be regarded as unremarkable and generate perceptions of impunity. The analysis presented gives rise to a synergistic approach to examining the inter-connected, multi-layered facets of abuse in order to generate multi-level activities (conceptual, material, structural) based on local realities that together, can produce effects (prevention of victimisation) that are greater than their individual parts.
