The National Network for Children, the Institute for Mediation and Dispute Management and our associate partner the State Agency for Child Protection are pleased to invite you to the National Conference “Together Against Child Abuse”.
The event will take place on 31.10.2024, from 09:00 to 13:30 (main module), in the conference hall of Hemus Hotel, Sofia, Bulgaria. “Cherni Vrah” № 25, Sofia (next to metro station “European Union”).
The conference is organized in the framework of the project “NURVAC – National Unified Register on Violence against Children”, funded by the European Union. It is dedicated to the cause of the National Network for Children and our partners to achieve uniform and reliable data collection on violence against children in Bulgaria.
We will share with the participants the NURVAC project research and recommendations, after which the invited speakers (representatives of various institutions and civil society organizations) will introduce us to the work on the National Information System at the SACP, the NIS on domestic violence cases, the NEIS on full adoption, the Safe Internet Center’s data on online and child-to-child violence, etc.
In the afternoon, after the scheduled time between 12:30 – 13:30 for lunch and informal discussions, we will hold a second module of the conference, within which the member organizations of the National Network for Children will plan together what actions the Network should take in the next 5 years (2025 – 2029) to better advocate for prevention and response to violence against children in Bulgaria. Together – institutions and civil society – let us contribute to the unified and reliable collection of data on violence against children, which will serve as a basis for more adequate legislation and policies to support children and families in Bulgaria.
