This is the reality that children face and what we have to change. If you’re preparing for the upcoming #childabusepreventionmonth - this is what needs to be addressed. So many people only focus on getting children to tell, but we need to also focus on what happens when they do. Organizations spend huge amounts of money and time on ‘prevention’ programs, but if we don’t have systems in place to protect a child when they do tell, you’re just dropping the child into an abyss of more trauma. Prevention is a child believed, protected, and defended and a perpetrator stopped from harming again. #childabuseprevention #childadvocacy #believeprotectdefend

During our sessions on violence, children share heartbreaking stories happening to them and within their families. This clearly shows the extent of the prevalance of violence in our communities. Addressing this requires a multi-faceted approach that includes prevention strategies and community engagement. Violence is global challenge that requires urgent action. Over the years, we have intensified efforts to combat violence against children by advocating for preventive and protective measures, raising awareness, providing education, creating supportive environments and working hand in hand with different stakeholders to build the capacity of communities to create a safer and better world for children. #childprotection #endviolence #communityengagement

Remember to check in with your loved ones and peers this season ☝️💖 Depression is known as the silent killer. Its effects can go unnoticed, leading to profound suffering and death by those who fight this hidden battle. Don’t be afraid to be uncomfortable, check-in, and start a conversation. #suicidepreventionmonth
