The former Secretary General of the United Nations (UN), Dr. Kofi Annan, presented the Study on Violence against Children, in October 2006 to the UN Assembly. His presentation will be held on 6 March 2007 at 09:00 a.m. at PAHO Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
The Study was a global effort co-sponsored by UN Office on Human Rights, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO). It does not only gather reliable and significant information on the issue, but also makes specific recommendations for action to governments and to civil society. It is worth to know that close to 1,800 girls and boys from around the globe participated in this study. I would like to invite you to a presentation by Professor Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, independent expert and main author and coordinator at global scale of this study.
