Child Abuse and Neglect

The First Children’s Embassy in the World - Megjashi reminds that even Republic of Macedonia ratified the Convention against Child Labour 6 years ago, the condition is still more than alarming.

XIth ISPCAN Conference

Supporting Prevention and Recovery from Child Abuse and Neglect: Role of Professionals, Communities and Families

We are pleased to inform you about the XIth ISPCAN European Regional Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect which will take place November 18-21, 2007, in Lisbon, Portugal.

Violence is a daily reality for millions of children around the world, affecting girls and boys of all ages, all social contexts, and all nationalities. In every part of their lives —their homes and families, schools, institutions, workplaces and communities — children may be beaten, sexually assaulted, tortured, and even killed. The perpetrators of this violence are often the very individuals who are responsible for protecting children – their parents, guardians, teachers, employers, the police and security forces.

The First Children's Embassy in the World - Megjashi started a campaign against the violence over children in Macedonia.
