On the margins of CSW66, World Vision, ODI, Global Partnership to End Violence will be hosting a virtual event, highlighting the connection between climate change and violence against children, in particular, girls. The effects of climate change such as water scarcity, wildfires, floods, and more can result in girls losing their education, being forced into child marriage, and other forms of violence. Panelists will provide experience on the issue as well as policy recommendations.
This webinar hosted by the Transitioning Residential Care Working Group of the Transforming Children’s Care Global Collaborative Platform, is an opportunity to showcase learning around the transition of residential care services, and the recently released Transition Framework; an interactive, digital open-source framework designed to provide a road map for the transition of residential care services, promote evidence-based practice and link organizations undergoing transition with resources, and localized, contextually relevant technical support and expertise.
The webinar will feature short presentations on two interactive digital tools that underpin the Transition Framework, and a panel of practitioners who will discuss key themes and emerging issues from their experience in transitioning residential care services across diverse contexts.
While often underrecognized, social service workers can play a critical role in support and protection of children, families and others in need, when located in schools and health care facilities.
