Child Abuse and Neglect

First Children's Embassy in the World - Megjashi has recently conducted study on the visibility of the See it, Hear it, Say it campaign among the Macedonian society. The campaign was run all over the country between 7th November and 10th December 2008.

It is a beautiful moment for a family when a baby is born. But it is a difficult time, too. It brings a real upheaval in a daily routine, it involves a lot of stress related to the responsibility for the newborn human being, sleepless nights, the baby's crying, initial inability to recognize the child's needs. It all might put the parents' endurance and patience to a test.

The project has been carried out by Centre for Inclusive Education since 2007 and will last till the end of 2009.

 

The aim of the project is to better protect vulnerable children through recognising and implementing the international "Keeping Children Safe" standards for child protection by non-governmental and governmental structures in Bulgaria who work directly with children.

On 1st May 2009 United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has appointed Marta Santos Pais as his Special Representative on violence against children at the level of Assistant Secretary-General.
