Child Abuse Programme
Learning Initiative
The programme will invest in learning both through its own learning programme and through grant support to its partners. For its own programme of work, four areas for global learning have been selected:
- Learning from the life experience of children, families and communities to inform our understanding of resilience.
- What motivates negative actors in the chain of sexual abuse/exploitation.
- How communities protect their children where there are no official services.
- What do we know about children’s vulnerability to sexual abuse, sexual exploitation and related trafficking.
