The World Day for the Prevention of Child Abuse is a vital reminder of the importance of protecting children from violence and abuse. Creating a safe environment for children is essential for their healthy growth and development.
The European Union is dedicated to achieving this by promoting a culture of prevention and protecting the most vulnerable.
Through stricter laws, awareness campaigns, support for victims, and international cooperation, the EU tirelessly works to build a better future for our children. The fight against child abuse is a top priority and requires ongoing commitment from all of us. By reporting suspicious situations, supporting victims, and promoting a culture of prevention, we can make a difference. Together, we can create a safer world for our children.
