the 2024 National Children's Month Celebration

 


The 2024 National Children’s Month (NCM) celebration in the Philippines, with the theme “Break the Prevalence, End the Violence: Protecting Children, Creating a Safe Philippines,” focuses on addressing and combating violence against children. This theme underscores the urgency of ending child abuse, neglect, exploitation, and other forms of harm that children face in society. It also emphasizes the need for a collective effort from various sectors of society—government, communities, and families—to ensure a safer environment for children to grow, learn, and thrive.


In celebration of the 32nd National Children’s Month (NCM) this November, the Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC), an attached agency of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), announced that this year’s event is focused on advocating to end all forms of violence against children.

In the DSWD Thursday Media Forum on October 31, CWC executive director Undersecretary Angelo Tapales told reporters that in 2023, the Philippine National Police-Women and Children Protection Center (PNP-WCPC) received 18,756 reports of child rights violation.

“Dyan sa number na yan, 17,304 reports ay violence against children or yung child abuse na tinatawag natin, rape at acts of lasciviousness. Since 2016 ay ito na ang top three na violation sa mga bata,” Undersecretary Tapales told reporters at the weekly forum.

To report child abuse cases and other violations against children, Undersecretary Tapales said the public may call the Makabata Helpline 1383.

“Pag tumawag dyan sa numero na yan, sigurado na may tulong na matatangap,” the CWC executive director said.

As an attached agency of the DSWD, the CWC performs the function of formulating policies and monitoring and evaluating the implementation of laws, programs or projects for children and youth below 18 years old.

  1. Your post did share bits of information. But, I suggest that in writing should also be in a composed structure. Keep it up and share where children can play.
