1 IN 2 CHILDREN ARE VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE
|
"Each year, one billion children are victims of violence. Violence erodes every investment that families, communities and governments make in children, from their education to their mental and physical health". The first-ever Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children will take place in Bogota, Colombia on November 7-8, 2024. This meeting will be an opportunity for all governments including Canada to pledge changes that are needed to ensure that every child lives free from violence.
