Colombia won a Guinness World Records for the number of countries represented at a summit on ending violence against children, which we contributed to as part of our #BreakTheRecord campaign. ✅ We built a 21m long & 3m tall installation for #BreakTheRecord at the conference, which welcomed hundreds of delegates, policy-makers, civil society and guests. ✅ We led on survivor engagement at the conference through the Global Survivor Council, which brought together 15 survivors of different forms of violence from around the world. ✅ We influenced key government pledges on online safety, data and evidence collection, and the creation of national survivor councils. ✅ We met with numerous key government and civil society partners in child protection. ✅ We organized and took part in satellite and official events on crucial topics such as online safety, child marriage, ending violence in schools, ending childhood sexual violence & more! ✅ We were incredibly inspired by all the survivors, children & youth, policy-makers, researchers, and civil society working to create a safe world for children. 🌟 The Conference was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come together to create new partnerships and share evidence and solutions to #EndViolenceAgainstChildren.

Participating members of the Coalition for Good Schools Shanaaz Mathews, Stella Ayo-Odongo, Dipak Naker, Bernadette Madrid, Lina María Saldarriaga Mesa, Jose Fernando Mejia, Hope Wambi, Saba Lishan and others were truly humbled by the deep and impassioned engagement from participants at our co-hosted events at the First Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children. We echo our gratitude to Safe to Learn, UNESCO and UNICEF colleagues for the collaborative spirit that brought these spaces to light!
Last week the 1st Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children took place in Bogota, Colombia. I was humbled and excited to be there. It was amazing to see rooms full of government representatives and ministers, civil society, private sector, foundations, academia, and UN agencies coming together to take action to address this pressing issue, which if you ask me, ultimately stands in the way of world peace, social cohesion, prosperity and human rights. Safe to Learn played a central role in bringing together different strains of thought, out of the box thinking, and critical multi-sectoral perspectives in the lead up to and during the conference. I had no time to stop, digest, or write about it until now - but there is a lot to be shared in the name of ending violence against children. Stay tuned this week for my post-conference diary updates. The first one is coming here: We kicked off on the day before the initiation of the formal conference days by bringing a powerful coalition of partners together in a series of inter-generational high level technical panel discussions. The joint partner event co-organised by the Coalition for Good Schools, UNESCO, UNICEF and #SafetoLearn Secretariat: Ending Violence is Education’s Business too: Galvanising cross-sectoral partnerships to end violence in and through education clearly resonated the core focus of the Safe to Learn Call to Action: elevating the role of education in preventing and responding to violence against children. Different perspectives where shared and combined to generate solutions to ending violence in, around, and through schools. The event spotlighted the need for education and child protection to work hand in hand in collaboration with other key actors and sectors such as health, gender, and social and behavior change. Through the beauty of partnership with huge thanks to incredible speakers who competently and passionately analysed the issue and shared challenges and solutions, we kept a full room throughout the 3-hour event. Here are some key take aways: - Safe learning is about learning outcomes - The impact of violence in and around schools impacts both educational and societal outcomes: Violence negatively affects brain development, self-esteem, reduces attendance, and leads to school dropouts. It undermines children’s rights and well-being mental and physical health, nutrition, and prospects for gender equality and socio-economic equity and cohesion. - Teachers and can be actors of social change - Education systems hold the potential to prevent and respond to violence. They provide a platform for challenging harmful social and gender norms and behaviors that drive violence and are instrumental in shaping societies based on peace and equality. #safetolearn #endviolenceagainstchildren #education #childprotection #sbc

The Coalition commends the outstanding pledge made by the Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) of $125 million for the global effort to end violence against children. CIFF CEO Kate Hampton said it best: "We can build a whole-of-society approach, including online, that moves beyond individual projects and organizations, to an ecosystem approach, something that achieves the scale that’s required. We’re on the cusp of a movement now – this conference is the first expression of that – that can bring together the evidence and the data and can shine the light on many of these examples that have been so positive."

This is a huge milestone for the movement to end violence against children, and in particular, ending violence in and through schools. The Coalition for Good Schools is so grateful for our partners at UNICEF, UNESCO, Safe to Learn and so many others for such impactful engagements last week. The movement continues to grow!
From Bogotá to the World: A New Era for School Safety Education plays a critical role in preventing and responding to violence. Leaders from around the world gathered in Bogotá, Colombia, for the first-ever Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children. The conference witnessed unprecedented country support, with over 40 countries pledging to create safe and enabling learning environments. As part of the #SafetoLearn Coalition, hosted by UNICEF, I had the honor of participating in several events that brought together partners dedicated to ending violence in, around, and through schools. From co-hosting a powerful breakfast with inspiring female leaders to speaking alongside intergenerational experts and collaborating with Child Protection colleagues, it's been an extraordinary few days. Thank you to our partners, including the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, UNESCO and the Coalition for Good Schools for your strong collaboration in advancing this crucial agenda. Now, it's time to turn these pledges into action! #endviolenceagainstchildren #childprotection #safeschools #globaleducation #educationforall #GlobalMinisterialConference #BogotaConference #SafetoLearn #UNICEF #FCDO #UNESCO #CoalitionforGoodSchools #SDG16.2 #ActNow

🏫 What Works and Safe to Learn have collaborated on a policy brief for the Bogota Global VAC Ministerial meeting, highlighting the pressing issues of violence in and around schools and its far-reaching impacts on educational outcomes. 💭Numerous studies globally have consistently revealed alarming statistics on violence against children, underscoring its detrimental effects on their education, health, and economic well-being. The urgent need of the hour is to implement evidence-based and practice-informed prevention strategies, followed by the scale-up of successful interventions. 📚At Breakthrough, our mission is to transform the culture that normalizes violence against children and gender-based violence in all its forms. Our Deep Transformation work with young people and communities; scaling up of Taaron Ki Toli school-based gender-equity curriculum in partnership with state governments are two such evidence-based and practice-informed interventions.
