Engaging Faith Leaders and Faith Communities to End Violence Against Children

Hosted by World Vision, this event is designed to inspire and equip with new ideas and tools to help us accomplish SDG 16.2.
Thoughtful presentations will include:

• Research by Queen Margaret University/Columbia University and World Vision on the contribution of faith communities to EVAC, as well as World Vision illustrated stories evidence and key resources.
• Arigatou International will share key principles and examples how faith leaders and faith communities can open spaces for child participation to strengthen the protective environment around children.

This will be a vibrant discussion with children, faith leaders, academics, experts in ending violence against children, government representatives, decision makers, and donors that will upgrade the discussion around the evidence of the role of faith leaders in child protection.
