What?
posu. stands for pull our socks up — a sock brand and personal effort to tackle child sex abuse in Australia using the love of neuroscience, socks and psychology. Every pair of socks funds change, with $1 from every pair going directly to Bravehearts, one Australia's leading researchers and providers on the issue.
Why?
In Australia, 1 in 4 people have experienced child sexual abuse. Most knew the person responsible, 78% say it happened more than once.
It’s uncomfortable, so we talk about it less. Every time we look away, a child’s world changes.
How?
Bridging research, funding, and action. Applying neuroscience and psychology to create measurable impact through initiatives like The Sock Pilot, and sharing informational resources to better understand youth justice.
We can’t fix what we refuse to understand.
posu. will bring research, real stories, and interactive explainers to help understand the "why" & drive conversations around the "how" towards ending child abuse in Australia.
Every pair of socks purchased helps support Bravehearts and their mission to protect Australian children.
Shop socks.
