Global: World Day for Prevention of Child Abuse - 19 November

Child abuse, especially sexual abuse, is a universal and alarming problem and increased attention and efficient protection skills and prevention measures are necessary at family-, local-, national- and international level. After a long tradition of silence, sexual child abuse is being more and more denounced and becoming a public and political topic. WWSF invites you to participate in the 2006 global campaign and to take part in the next year Prize for prevention of child abuse (formerly Betty Makoni Prize) by organizing activities and events on 19 November or by supporting the Day in general.
