Key activities include educational seminars for professionals, awareness events for the community, workshops for children to develop social skills, and a study to document the prevalence of violence in these areas. Through creative and evidence-based interventions, the project seeks to raise awareness, provide tools for prevention, and foster a supportive environment for children and families.

Target groups:

The target groups include parents, guardians, students, and various professionals such as social care workers, health professionals, law enforcement, and educators.

By engaging these diverse groups, the project aims to build a cohesive network of stakeholders equipped to prevent and address violence against children.
