On
the occasion of the World Day for Prevention of Child Abuse 2009, the

Save the Children Sweden, War Child Holland, AFEL, Nabaa Association, Amel
Organization, Sustainable Democratic Center, SASCD, Lebanese Union of Child
Care, Dar El Amal, launched a nation-wide campaign designed to increase
awareness on child abuse and on the preventive measures needed to impede

the Convention on the Rights of the Child which recognizes the role of
parents in protecting children and the state’s responsibility to take
preventive measures against child abuse.
Between
November 17 and November 22, children participate in the campaign through local
“Peace Pit-Stops” spread on the roads and highways all over
Furthermore,
the Ministry Development Community Centers all over the country are organizing
events and awareness with parents and care givers focusing on the role of
adults and the crucial need to adopt preventive measures against child abuse.
