World Day for Prevention of Child
Abuse - 19 November 2008
NEW REGISTRATION DEADLINE - 23 JUNE, 2008
WWSF - Women's World Summit Foundation - is happy to share with you that 786
organizations from 128 countries joined the international coalition marking
the World Day for Prevention of Child Abuse last year, organizing
activities and events on 19 November or supporting the Day in general.
Launched in 2000, the World Day has as its main purpose to create a global
culture of prevention of child abuse worldwide. Every year, more and more
Governmental and Non Governmental organizations join the campaign to help
make prevention of child abuse a global priority. We sincerely hope that
you will join the 2008 coalition and that you will invite your
members and partners to do the same.

Please note that your organization can register as either an active or supporting
member:
- Active members commit to organize

for selection of the annual WWSF Prize for prevention of child abuse.
The Prize is annually given to four organizations (US$ 5000 p. year).
- Supporting members do not organize any event
on 19 November. They are therefore not eligible for the WWSF Prize.
