The Council of Europe Campaign to stop sexual violence against children

The Council of Europe has launched a Europe-wide campaign to raise awareness about the growing sexual abuse and exploitation of minors in Europe.  The Council has worked with children, parents, teachers, social workers, and other experts to determine the type of information to be included in the campaign. The main goals of the campaign are to achieve further signature, ratification and implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse (Lanzarote Convention), to equip children, their families/carers and societies at large with knowledge and tools to prevent and report sexual violence against children, thereby raising awareness of its extent.
