CNDH Regional Commission in Tangier, Morocco, organizes Round Table on Children Sexual Abuse and Strengthening Protection Mechanisms
The Regional Human Rights Commission (CRDH) in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region is organizing a round table on “Children Sexual Abuse and strengthening protection mechanisms” on Friday 24 May 2024, at 3:30 p.m. in Tangier, Morocco.
This meeting is part of the CRDH mandate related to promoting and protecting human rights. It is also the implementation of its annual action program.
The symposium aims to engage relevant stakeholders working in childhood sectors to diagnose the current situation and determine the effectiveness of sectoral mechanisms and programs in protecting children and combating violence against them, particularly those in vulnerable situations.
The meeting also seeks to draw attention to the gravity of these abuses on physical and mental health of children, as underlined in reports from the World Health Organization. It will be an opportunity to urge relevant stakeholders to address this issue by encouraging reporting, enhancing prevention mechanisms, and ensuring the effectiveness of public policies, aligning with international human rights conventions, particularly the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its two Optional Protocols, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda by 2030.
National Child Redress Mechanism, judges, lawyers, psychoanalysts, institutional actors, civil society organizations and experts will participate in this event.
