Event overview
Child Rights Violations - Protection and Prevention Mechanisms

While children have unprecedented opportunities in this rapidly changing world, they are faced with and equally unprecedented set of challenges and threats to their safety and wellbeing. It is important that we identify and are aware of the fact that, in Sri Lanka there continues to exist social and cultural norms that tolerate emotional, physical and s*xual violence against children.

Despite their best intentions, many parents and caregivers cannot properly identify and respond to threats to the safety and protection of their children. Children with disabilities are particularly at risk and a general lack of awareness with regard to how they can seek assistance and redress has resulted in these abuses continuing to take place.

Parents, teachers and children themselves are often unaware of how to access and utilize child protection services even if a violation is experienced. Although there are a massive number of child abuse cases reported, going forward coordination mechanisms and avenues for referral of child protection cases have been developed in Sri Lanka.

In view of these existing conditions we must ask ourselves how we can get involved. Within our own capacities what is the knowledge, skills and attitudes we should adopt to play a more active role in the protection and prevention of such abuses against our children.
