In this section you can find materials, tools and resources developed as part of our various initiatives and designed for professionals, educators, families and anyone wishing to contribute to creating safe environments for children and teenagers.
From international and national reports to practical manuals, from awareness-raising toolkits to guides for parents and professionals, each resource offers concrete tools to understand, prevent and respond to violence against children.
The aim is to provide a single, reliable access point to identify the different forms of violence against children, understand warning signs, and learn how to intervene in an informed way.
