A campaign toolkit in 22 language versions to combat sexual violence against children
©
The Congress has produced a campaign toolkit in 22 language versions to encourage local and regional authorities in Europe to sign up to the Pact of Towns and Regions to Stop Sexual Violence against Children and take measures at local and regional level. The Pact comprises a list of initiatives and policies to prevent sexual abuse of children, protect victims, prosecute perpetrators and ensure the full participation of children. It is part of the Council of Europe’s ONE in FIVE campaign to encourage signature of the Lanzarote Convention – the benchmark legal instrument to protect children from exploitation and sexual abuse. The campaign toolkit can be downloaded from the Congress website or a paper version can be obtained on request from the following e-mail address: congress.oneinfive@coe.int.
