Name of the project: Prevention of Violence Against Girls in Informal Education
Donor: U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Implementation period: 8 November 2021 – 31 December 2021
Goal of the project: Raise awareness of the professional and general public about the necessity to establish a child safe-guarding mechanism in informal education
Within this project, the Child Rights Centre will organize a webinar “Girls in Informal Education”, as part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence global campaign, with the aim of drawing public attention to the fact that as a society we must always have zero tolerance for gender-based violence against girls. Milica Đuričić, taekwondo player, Milica Pejović Milovancević, MD PhD. Child Psychiatrist, Biljana Lajović, school psychology specialist, Ljiljana Lazarević, teacher, Vanja Grbić, PhD in Physical Education and Sport, Una Ljiljak, member of the DX Club and football player and Jasmina Miković, CRC director, were the panelists while Miša Stojiljković, journalist, was the moderator. Through the exchange of professional and personal experiences on the impact of informal education on the development of the child’s personality, the panellists will be talking about the role of parents, teachers and coaches, as well as the consequences of inappropriate work and improper behaviour of adults towards children.
Throughout the project, the Child Rights Centre will conduct an awareness-raising campaign #standbyme on social networks. As part of the campaign, the video #STANIUZMENE will be recorded in order to draw public attention to the fact that informal education should not be dealt with only when incidents occur and when the media report on distressing events and situations of sexual violence against girls, but that the area of informal education should be regulated to ensure a safe, healthy and supportive environment for every child.
