National Working Group Develops Declaration to Combat Violence Against Young People
A newly drafted declaration aimed at preventing violence against young people has been developed by the National Working Group, operating under the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). The group, comprised of five ministries – education and science, sports, internal affairs, social policy, and demography – alongside partner organizations and non-governmental organizations, seeks stronger collaborative action on this critical issue. The declaration outlines a comprehensive strategy focusing on key areas to mitigate the risk of violence.
It commits signatories to establishing safe school environments, promoting education for non-violent communication, and implementing preventative measures within sports. Digital safety and accessible mental health and psychological support are also prioritized. Furthermore, the declaration emphasizes increased coordination and shared responsibility between governmental institutions.
The document’s core objective is to foster a unified approach to addressing violence against young people. The declaration’s formal submission is intended to galvanize a more robust and joint response to the problem. Signatories will affirm their dedication to creating protective measures and promoting a culture of respect and safety for young people.
