ADDRESSING VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN NOW

ADDRESSING VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN NOW!
Conference at UN Headquarters
Date tba

Violence against children exists in many forms: at home, in the community, in school, online – and in armed conflict. According to the United Nations, one billion children globally experience some form of violence every year.
The UN has dedicated focal points to address this problem, and as a result a large number of Member States have adopted policies on violence prevention and response.

Join us to hear from UN representatives and practitioners about progress and effective strategies to prevent violence, and safeguard children’s rights to a healthy development and peaceful environment.

UN Focal Points addressing Violence Against Children:

— Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Children in Armed Conflict
— Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence Against Children
