About ICAPA
The ICAPA Network is unwavering in its commitment to overhauling protection and advocacy systems for youth and forging a path to prevent institutional child abuse. Through our efforts in shaping policy reform, we aim to establish a strong defense against an industry tainted by fraudulence and abuse. In doing so, we will ensure that transparency and accountability compels us to remove the negative elements and nurture the positive ones. We aspire to widen the gates of community-driven empowerment and compassionate care for our most vulnerable youth.
