Today, 19 November, is the World Day for the Prevention of Child abuse, , initiated by the Women’s World Summit Foundation (WWSF) in 2000, with the objective to create a culture of prevention around the world by encouraging governments and community/society organizations to play more active roles in protecting children.
Among the activities associated with World Day for the Prevention of Child Abuse is the Yes to Prevention of Child Abuse! Yellow Sticker Campaign, which advocates posting a yellow sticker in prominent places to show your support for preventing child abuse. In addition, on November 20, UNICEF, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the World Health Organization will release the United Nations Secretary World Report on Violence Against Children, to coincide with both World Day for the Prevention of Child Abuse and with the 15th anniversary of the Commission for the Rights of the Child.
