WHO has long recognised the potential for schools to play a central role in safeguarding student health and well-being, including the prevention of violence against children in all countries or settings, be they high, middle, or low-income countries, or host countries to displaced children and families or crises- affected regions. The Global School Health Initiative and the End Violence Partnership’s Safe to Learn initiative are intrinsically linked and reinforce each other to ensure all girls and boys independently of where they live and learn have access to safe learning environments.

This event will highlight the role of the health sector in preventing and responding to violence against children in and through schools and promote dialogue, information sharing and reflection between the health and education in emergency settings and beyond.

Red PaPaz has created experts-driven resources for mothers, fathers and caregivers, to help better protect thier children from online sexual violence, including the PaPaz Kit for risk prevention and management of the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents online (Kit Prasi). 

This event will showcase the Kit Parsi, its use and learning to make the content of the Kit known to parents and caregivers, who can help create and maintain safer digital environments.
