-New PSA with UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Liam Neeson premiers to raise awareness and drive action to #ENDviolence
The Government of Tanzania is joining world leaders in New York to launch a new partnership and fund to make ending violence against children a public priority and a collective responsibility.
The delegation to the launch is led by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health, Community, Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MOHCDGEC), Ms. Sihaba Nkinga.
Tanzania is attending the launch as one of the "pathfinder countries" - countries that are fully committed to making children safe and are focused on solutions to end violence. It is the first “pathfinder” country in Africa.
UNICEF Representative in Tanzania, Ms. Maniza Zaman, says, “The launch will be a key opportunity for Tanzania to reaffirm its commitment to end violence against children.
Ms. Zaman adds, “Tanzania has already shown its determination to end violence against children and women. Systems and structures such as the Police Gender and Children Desks, one of the specialized units established in police stations, have been set up to prevent and deal with cases. A new innovative plan to end violence both against children and women will be finalized soon. Its successful implementation will usher a better and safer world for all those children and women who today silently bear the trauma and pain of violence.”
UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Liam Neeson.
End Violence Against Children - The Global Partnership brings together governments, foundations, the UN, civil society, the academia, the private sector and young people in driving action toward achieving the new global target
"The Global Partnership to End Violence against Children is mobilizing the world,” said United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. “There could be no more meaningful way to help realize the vision of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development."
