Up to one billion children aged between two and 17 experience physical, sexual or emotional violence or neglect each year, according to the World Health Organization. On Thursday this week, the First Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children opens in Bogotá, Colombia. In this piece for Equal Times I spoke to the organisers, as well as two brave and driven campaigners: Mie Kohiyama and Bryanna Mariñas. I found out that proven ways to end violence against children exist, but globally action is lacking. https://lnkd.in/eE4GcMxj
