As the world is fighting COVID-19, and countries are actively preparing a sustainable recovery after COVID-19, promoting child rights and implementing measures for the well-being of children is more important than ever. 

The objectives of this convening are to:

1. Elevate violence against children as a global priority for COVID-19 planning and financing
2. Showcase cost-effective, evidence-based solutions that can be scaled 
3. Discuss a collective way forward for European Pathfinding Countries 

Participating countries are those that have already joined the End Violence partnership, with official domestic and international commitments, to ending violence against children. Participants include country delegations (with representation of different sectors including health, education, social welfare, child protection and justice) and European End Violence members.

Es con mucho gusto que os invitamos para el lanzamiento de la Segunda Conferencia-Taller Regional sobre INSPIRE 7 Estrategias para prevenir y responder a la violencia contra niños, niñas y adolescentes. El lanzamiento es el primero de una serie de talleres sobre INSPIRE que realizaremos entre diciembre 2020 y marzo 2021, gentilmente apoyados por el gobierno de Colombia.

INSPIRE es un paquete de herramientas desarrollado para garantizar acceso a las soluciones de prevención y respuesta a la violencia en la infancia. INSPIRE identifica un grupo selecto de estrategias que han demostrado tener éxito en la reducción de la violencia, con un enfoque basado en evidencias para revitalizar y expandir los esfuerzos multisectoriales.

América Latina y el Caribe tienen una prevalencia muy alta de homicidios y violencia contra los niños, niñas y adolescentes, que repetidamente están expuestos a la violencia en la comunidad, en la escuela, en el hogar y online. Dichas vulnerabilidades se agravan aún más en el contexto de la COVID y de la migración en la región. La adaptación de las 7 Estrategias al contexto local es primordial para su implementación y éxito. Considerando las similitudes de la región, ustedes tendrán la oportunidad de conocer y aprender de las demás experiencias e intercambiar conocimientos dentro del marco de trabajo INSPIRE.

The Freedom Fund is thrilled to invite you to the virtual launch of Freedom Rising, our new initiative to build an anti-slavery movement led by women and survivors.

Unique and deeply transformative, Freedom Rising is a leadership and movement-building program that aims to equip and connect frontline women and survivor leaders in communities that are most affected by slavery.

Join us and special guests to celebrate the rise of a new generation of frontline leaders as they come together to advance the global fight against slavery.

This webinar on COVID-19, social determinants and violence will explore how violence is a significant contributor to human suffering and how the societal responses to COVID-19 such as stay-at-home measures, workplace and school closures, and restrictions on sales of alcohol highlight the interrelationships between social determinants and violence. These complex inter-relationships will be explored, and their implications unpacked to suggest likely future trends in the prevalence of violence and its prevention.

The LEGO Foundation, Oak Foundation, the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children (End Violence), the Early Childhood Development Action Network (ECDAN), UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO) invite you to a Donor Convening to discuss the critical importance of parenting and identify ways to collectively and strategically expand resources for parenting support globally.

During this meeting, we will:

• Discuss the critical role of parenting in the times of COVID-19
• Provide a brief overview of evidence on parenting support interventions and how they can achieve multiple outcomes across the sustainable development goals
• Discuss a proposed framework for collective action to achieve scale, accelerate innovation, and build evidence
