National Director, Children’s Justice Campaign
Kathryn Robb directs the Children’s Justice Campaign at Enough Abuse. She is a lawyer and legislative advocate who has been fighting to pass meaningful child sex abuse legislation across the country for over 2 decades. She is a national expert on Statute of Limitations reform/elimination aimed at providing justice for survivors, accountability for abusers and the prevention of sexual abuse for more children. She consults with lawmakers and governors to write and edit legislative language and has testified in over thirty jurisdictions as a national expert before legislative committees.
An outspoken survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Kathryn writes opinions for local and national press, presents at national conferences and appears on news outlets and as a guest on numerous podcasts across the country. She is a regular columnist for
Verdict Justia and participated in the
Scouts Honor and A Peloton of One documentaries about child sexual abuse.
Kathryn is a co-founder of New Yorkers Against Hidden Predators, a coalition of organizations, advocates, and sex abuse survivors from across New York. She worked closely with then-New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, his staff, and New York state legislators to pass the New York Child Victims Act. After a 12-year hard-fought battle, the bill was signed into law on February 14, 2019. The New York Child Victim’s Act led to the drafting and passage of the Adult Survivor’s Act which ultimately led to the filing of civil charges by several survivors, including E. Jean Carroll.
For over two decades, Kathryn served as a board member and legislative advocate for the nonprofit Massachusetts Citizens for Children where she helped lead successful reform of the Massachusetts Statute of Limitations law in 2014.
A member of the Massachusetts bar and certified trainer for Enough Abuse, Kathryn received her Juris Doctor from New England Law School in Boston and a Master of Science (MS) focused on Clinical Counseling and Applied Psychology from the University of Hartford.
In 2023, Kathryn was the recipient of the “Unsung Hero” Award at the New England Legal Award for her passionate commitment to the safest standards for children, and to victim-friendly laws, policies, and practices which uphold the dignity and protection of all children while also holding those who harm children fully accountable under both criminal and civil law.
