CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE: ASSESSING THE SITUATION IN ARMENIA

Tert
Sept 23 2009
Armenia

The Women’s Resource Center (WRC) invites all interested parties to
a round-table discussion called "Child Sexual Abuse: Assessing the
Situation in Armenia" on September 25, 2009, at 5 pm.

Due to recent scandals in special schools where a group of volunteers
raised the issue of the urgency of addressing child abuse and neglect
in these closed institutions, the WRC invites all interested citizens
and NGOs to participate in a round-table discussion and voice their
concerns on the issue. Representatives from different ministries and
NGOs are invited to take part in the discussion.

This event will help assess the situation in Armenia regarding the
issue of child abuse in special schools, inform participants about
available resources in the country, and find means of cooperation
between NGOs and government bodies for better solutions and preventive
methods.

You can register by calling the WRC at 010-51-91-68.
