26.11.2012 What is the role of international
cooperation in tackling sexual violence against
children? Can new approaches and strategies be
identified and promoted?
These themes will be discussed at an international
conference that will take place in Rome on 29-30
November 2012.
The Conference
“The role of international cooperation
in tackling sexual violence against children” aims to raise awareness on the
Council of Europe Convention on the protection of children against
sexual exploitation and sexual abuse (“the Lanzarote Convention”) and to
discuss and exchange views on the concrete potential of its Article 38
on international cooperation.
The conference will be a forum to share and present good
practices from all over the world in this field. Participants will learn
about the cooperation projects and agreements concluded by the Italian
authorities with selected
beneficiary states
to prevent
and combat sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children. Projects in
Europe, Regional programmes, Mediterranean projects and African projects
will be showcased.
The conference will gather
representatives from the Council of Europe member states and observer
states, experts from other continents, representatives from NGOs and
from independent institutions, as well as other partners, including the
UN and the EU.
This conference is organised by the Council of Europe, the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Directorate General for Development Cooperation, the Department of Equal Opportunities of the Italian Presidency of the Council of Ministers and the Italian Ministry of Justice.
The conference will begin at 9 am on Thursday 29 November 2012 at the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (International Conference Hall, Piazzale della Farnesina, 1,00135 Rome). Videos by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
