Protecting Children from Abuse and Violence through Closer Collaboration by Bernadette J. Madrid, MD

Statistical studies show that more than 60% of Asian children are victims of physical, sexual, or emotional violence and abuse annually, regardless of poverty or income. The long-term negative effects of this violence on children as adults can be devastating, and it is critical that efforts are made across sectors, industries, and national borders to reduce the number of children affected.

Despite the seriousness of the problem, few municipalities or countries are coordinating their initiatives to prevent or respond to child maltreatment. The Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation in partnership with the International House of Japan features Ramon Magsaysay Awardee BERNADETTE J. MADRID on its webinar series on Leaders Shaping the Future of the Indo-Pacific.

Pediatrician Bernadette J. Madrid has been working to eliminate the division of roles and to create closer collaboration to save more children. This webinar will discuss her current activities and vision, and provide ways each of us can do to help.

Merry Christmas Everyone

RMTLI Lecture Series and AKO PARA SA BATA Opening Session Highlights

This event celebrates many milestones that have helped move the shared advocacy of child protection forward and will ensure that all children in the Philippines will be better protected from violence and abuse of all forms.

Since 1958, the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation has been honoring individuals and organizations regardless of race, nationality, creed or gender, who address issues of human development in Asia, with courage and creativity. All Ramon Magsaysay Awardees are embodiments of the best of humanity through their inspiring lives and their transformative work. The Ramon Magsaysay Transformative Leadership Institute (RMTLI) Lecture Series is the official platform of RMAF to share to the public the awardees’ transformative leadership journeys that exemplified greatness of spirit as they created successful solutions to some of the most challenging issues of their respective societies.

AKO PARA SA BATA started in 2007 when the Philippines, through CPN, hosted the Asian Regional Conference of the International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN). The Child Protection Network Foundation organizes the annual AKO PARA SA BATA Conference as a continuing education for professionals and individuals in the field of child protection work.

The event is presented by the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation (RMAF) and the Child Protection Network Foundation (CPN) in cooperation with Consuelo Zobel Alger Foundation and UNICEF Philippines.
