Celebrating 15 Years of Advocacy: Key Achievements and Next Steps

New York, 20 January 2025 - In 2024, the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence Against Children commemorated 15 years of global advocacy and action to achieve a world free from violence against children. It was a year of wide stakeholder mobilization and strengthening partnerships with Member States, the United Nations system, the private sector, civil society, faith-based organizations, traditional leaders, academia, survivors, and children. Many results were achieved, including the successful launch of the Pathfinding Global Alliance on Ending Violence Against Children and the convening of the first-ever Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children.
