XVIIth ISPCAN International Congress on Child Abuse and Neglect |
| Theme: |
Towards a Caring and Non-Violent Community: A Child's Perspective |
| Dates: |
7-10 September 2008 |
| Venue: |
Hong Kong, China |
| Description: |
Children around the world face different forms of maltreatment: some unique to their locations and many more than transcend cultures and nations. Apart from removing and preventing child abuse and neglect, the theme of the XVIIth ISPCAN Congress hopes to stimulate participants to move the world "towards a caring and non-violent community" emphasizing "a child's perspective" along the way. This congress will attempt to explore the theme and the best interest of the child through the eyes of a child. Hopefully communities in the future may strengthen the role of the child's perspective in policies and practices and in early child participation. |
