Parents
or legal guardian of a child
What
you can do if you are a
parent or legal guardian of a child:
- Be a role model. Make a personal
commitment to positive, non-violent parenting
and encourage others to do the same.
- Learn how to recognize signs of violence and
abuse in your child, find out where it can be
reported and where you can get help if it affects
your family.
- Help your children to understand their rights.
Ensure that your own children and their friends
are aware of their right to be protected from
all forms of violence, and have access to the
necessary advice and advocacy to assert that
right.
- Break the silence and spread the message that
violence against children is not acceptable
and undermines child development.
- Mobilize people around you. Support school,
community and national campaigns to prohibit
and eliminate all forms of violence against
children.
