Child Help Desks

The KidsRights Report The Silent Majority shows that one of the underlying problems of violence in Liberia is poverty. Although several steps have been taken to prevent and protect children against violence, there is still a long way to go. Together with our project partner ANPPCAN we want to mobilize communities to break this circle.

  • Organization: African Network for the Prevention and Protection Against Child Abuse and Neglect (ANPPCAN)
  • Project: Promoting the Rights of Children against Violence
  • Country: Liberia
  • Goal: Raise awareness on violence against children by training children and important stakeholders in the community and to increase access to justice for child victims of violence by establishing Child Help Desks.

Together with local organization ANPPCAN KidsRights will improve the implementation of the national Children’s Law of Liberia and increase access to justice for children. We will build two Child Help Desks in Liberia that children can contact to report cases of violence. The Child Help Desks receive and identify cases of violence against children, and will make sure that these will be handled in accordance with the national Children’s Law.
