STOP! To violence against children

First Children’s Embassy in the World – Megjashi has started a campaign against child violation in Macedonia.

Incited by the recent incident of two children beaten up to death, as well as the shocking increase in the number of calls related to violence (18.6% in 2006 compared to 2% in 2000) on the SOS free line for children and youth 0800 12222, we have decided to launch a campaign to increase the awareness about the need for child protection from all kinds of violence, as well as to encourage the citizens to report violence.

15 billboards were set a week ago on different locations around the center of Skopje, with 2 different messages: “Have you embraced your child today?” and “Stop! To violence against children.”

 The campaign will take place for one month. Everyone who would like to support the activities of the embassy Megjashi, can either call or send sms on Cosmofon 075/14 34 24, and T-Mobile 070/14 34 24 and donate. For further information contact:
