Survivor councils are more than advisory panels. They are the compass guiding the direction of policy, ensuring that reforms are not just well-intentioned but rooted in the realities of those affected. It’s time to stop seeing survivors of childhood sexual violence as the aftermath and start seeing them as the architects of a new future, where very child is protected, free from violence, and thriving.
With six weeks to go until the first ever global Ministerial on ending violence against children we are at a tipping point to protect the 1 billion children who experience violence every year.
Our challenges may be greater than ever, but so is our ability to organize and cooperate. At this moment, we must be brave so children can be safe.
Addressing violence against children requires a comprehensive approach that involves prevention and supportive measures to prevent these cycles of violence.
The consequences of violence against children are felt not only by those who experience it directly but by entire communities and societies. That is why we need a united, global, response to violence against children.
We are 100 days away from the first-ever Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children. The time is now to make a difference in the lives of children worldwide.
Join us for this critical discussion of the progress needed to address violence against children, adolescents and sexual and gender-based violence against girls.
