    Child protection in Armenia will be the topic of a conference dedicated
    to the International Children's Day on the 7th of June. The event is
    part of a project on reducing violence against children funded by the
    European Union and implemented by World Vision Armenia International
    Benevolent Organization.

    Under the theme ~SReality and prospects,~T the conference aims at
    improving cooperation between state and non-governmental organizations
    in the child protection area by providing a platform for dialogue
    between state officials and representatives of NGOs.

    Participants will discuss developments in the child protection area,
    the 2012-2016 RA Draft Strategy on Children's Rights, as well as the
    role of non-governmental organizations and their expectations from
    the government. Recommendations to the draft strategy will be then
    presented for further consideration.

    ~SIt is premature to state that child rights are fully protected in
    Armenia. Reducing child abuse and promoting responsibility of respect
    for their rights are one of the priorities for World Vision. I hope
    that discussions on the New Draft Strategy as well as the input from
    NGOs in this process will contribute to the effective protection of
    child rights and legal interests in the country~T, says Ms. Anahit
    Grigoryan, the World Vision Armenia Programme Manager.
