The Council of Europe will organize two artistic workshops with children in Balti (29/05/2021) and Cahul (1/06/2021) to celebrate Children’s Day, through play and drawing activities with children and their parents.

In addition, on 4th of June the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression will be marked by launching a mural in the Valea Morilor Park, in Chisinau.

All three events aim to raise awareness of children on child abuse, including in the online environment, prevention measures, as well as to encourage children to report any kind of physical or verbal abuse.

During all three events, children will be informed about the national hotline “Child's phone” 116 111 where they could call in case of abuse and receive advice and help.

The events will be organized within the project "Combating violence against children in the Republic of Moldova", implemented by the Council of Europe Office in Chisinau. This project aims to improve the relevant legal framework, strengthen the capacity of professionals working with and for children, strengthen cross-sectoral cooperation and raise awareness on violence against children.
