Joint efforts to fight violence against children

Violence against children was one emerging issue discussed at the Christian Conference of Asia's assembly. “It is still a sad reality in large parts of the world, but momentum to end violence against children is growing within governments and communities, amongst parents and religious leaders. This is a good thing since it takes everyone to make a change”, says Lauren Rumble, UNICEF’s chief of child protection in Indonesia.

Efforts concertés pour lutter contre la violence faite aux enfants

La violence faite aux enfants était l’un des points prioritaires figurant à l’ordre du jour de la réunion de la Conférence chrétienne d’Asie. «C’est encore une triste réalité dans de vastes régions du monde, mais le dynamisme pour lutter contre la violence faite aux enfants s’accroît au sein des gouvernements et des communautés, chez les parents et les chefs religieux. C’est excellent, car c’est en nous unissant qu’on induira un changement», indique Lauren Rumble, du Fonds des Nations Unies pour l’enfance (UNICEF) en Indonésie.
