Proclamation 10911 of April 3, 2025
National Child Abuse Prevention Month, 2025
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
America's children are the foundation of our families,
the heirs of our freedom, and the stewards of our
national promise. This National Child Abuse Prevention
Month, we commit to empowering every child in America
to lead a fulfilling life of dignity and love--and we
pledge to bring every abuser, predator, and evildoer
who threatens the health and safety of our children to
swift justice.
As citizens, each of us is entrusted with the sacred
responsibility of caring for the most vulnerable among
us, especially children uniquely at risk of trauma and
abuse. My Administration recognizes that the most
powerful safeguard against child abuse is a stable
family with loving parents, and that there is no
substitute for a strong mother and father. For this
reason, I am working every day to fortify our families
and embolden our Nation's children to live their lives
full of happiness, health, and success that they so
dearly deserve. I call on every American to take steps
to prevent child abuse and neglect before it occurs. By
doing so, we can reduce the risk of depression,
suicide, substance abuse, and developmental challenges
in our youth.
Sadly, one of the most prevalent forms of child abuse
facing our country today is the sinister threat of
gender ideology. Proponents of the gender ideology
movement are outrageously indoctrinating our children
with the devastating lie that they are trapped in the
wrong body--and that the only way they can be truly
happy is to alter their sex with hormone therapy,
puberty blockers, and sexual mutilation surgery. The
evil and backwards lies of gender insanity are robbing
our children of their happiness, health, and freedom,
while imposing unimaginable heartbreak on parents and
families. As I stated during my Joint Address to the
Congress last month, my message to every American child
is simple: you are perfect exactly the way God made
you.
As President, I proudly signed Executive Order 14187
prohibiting public schools from indoctrinating our
children with transgender ideology, while also taking
action to cut off all taxpayer funding to any
institution that engages in the sexual mutilation of
our youth. To further protect our children, I have
taken historic action to secure our southern border and
end child trafficking--and am working diligently to
make our young people healthy again.
This National Child Abuse Prevention Month, we pledge
to stop the atrocity of child abuse in all its forms.
We affirm that every perpetrator who inflicts violence
on our children will be punished to the fullest extent
of the law. Above all, we vow to give our children the
tools they need to fully embrace God's gift of life,
and to carry that radiant torch of American Liberty
generations into the future.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim April 2025 as
National Child Abuse Prevention Month. I call upon all
Americans to invest in the lives of our Nation's
children, to be aware of their safety and well-
[[Page 15204]]
being, and to support efforts that promote their
psychological, physical, and emotional development.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
third day of April, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
ninth.
