World Future Council is set to engage the government and other relevant stakeholders on implementing a One-Stop-Centre for survivors of child abuse and violence.

The Council revealed that its Consultant on Child Protection, Ramana Shareef has been deployed to the country “to discuss the importance of such a model with government representatives, policymakers, medical professionals, and other stakeholders and advance an inter-ministerial agreement to start implementing the pilot.”

According to the child rights council, the yet-to-be implement Centre will provide essential services for survivors of abuse under one roof.

“The main objective of the One-Stop-Centre model is to play the role of an initial umbrella institution for child survivors of abuse, and to provide access to the most essential services under one roof, involving multisectoral collaboration”, says Samia Kassid, Senior Programme Manager.
