Our founder, Leslee Udwin will be moderating at the First Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children. Each year, half the world’s children are victims of violence - a global challenge with impacts that span generations. We know the scale of the problem and the severity of its impact. We also know what works and can drive down childhood violence. With political will and investment we can deliver a breakthrough - and end violence against children. Coming up in November, governments, alongside children, survivors, civil society and donors, are joining forces to end this crisis. Learn about the event convened by the Government of Colombia, the Government of Sweden, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the United Nations Special Representative on Violence against Children in November this year, and what you can do to support this historic moment. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dJpQMa7j #EveryChildProtected #EndViolence #ThinkEqual
