The Violence Against Children Website is Online!
http://vac.plan-childrenmedia.org

Plan West Africa and Save the Children have launched their new website addressing different forms of violence that children are exposed to: Physical, psychological and Sexual Violence, neglect, maltreatment or exploitation…

The site follows up on the recommendations of the United Nations study on violence against children and supports Plan’s global campaign to end all forms of violence at school « Learn Without Fear ».

The Violence Against Children website invites you to:

• Obtain information regarding the different forms of violence inflicted upon children in different settings and what Plan, Save the Children and others do to end them (documents, articles, etc.)
• Listen to radio shows and watch videos produced by children in West Africa on the topic
• Read comic books and watch cartoons
• Listen to children’s testimonies and songs
  
  The website also contains a blog for children and adolescents to discuss their own experiences on violence and share what can be done to end it. It is meant to give the newly appointed UN Special Representative on Violence Against Children the opportunity to get first hand information on what children and youth think and experience.
  
  The Violence Against Children website integrates in Plan’s Media, Youth and Development platform, which highlights media productions on child rights made by children in partnership with Plan.
  
  The Media, Youth and Development website was launched last year on the occasion of International African Child Day and has already received more than 11,400 visits from 169 countries!
  
  Come and discover the The Violence Against Children website, and seize the opportunity to see what news is on the Media, Youth and Development website! Keep in touch with your peers from West Africa!
