The Mission
Socks that start the conversation no one wants to have.
POSU uses something as simple as a sock to spark powerful conversations about child sexual abuse in Australia.
Every step, every pair, is a statement: silence ends here.
Why?
Because silence protects perpetrators.
Child sexual abuse is far more common than people realise — 1 in 6 girls and 1 in 9 boys experience sexual abuse before 18 in Australia.
But because it’s uncomfortable to talk about, we don’t.
And every time we stay quiet, another child suffers in silence.
We’re done looking
How?
POSU channels every pair of socks into direct impact and systemic action.
Through the Sock Monthly Initiative Pilot, we fund survivor support, prevention education, and grassroots awareness.
Our designs create moments of connection — small but powerful invitations to talk.
We invest in research, education, and advocacy t
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.
