To consolidate and further develop SFI’s Break the Silence initiatives against offline and online child sexual abuse and exploitation.

Immediate targets

1. Further developing and consolidating the Break the Silence National Network of 45+ partner organizations trained by SFI as part of previous projects.

Further developing and consolidating the long running partnerships between SFI and the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Department of Education (DepEd). This includes continuous capacity building of these institutions and further development of CSAEP sustainability in their strategies and activities. 3. Strengthening SFI’s capacity for training and advocacy and developing new training materials and methods. This includes completion and launching of a new e-learning platform and the establishment of a new resource and learning center in Manila (Note: The physical installation of the new center is not part of the budget for this intervention).

Target groups

1. The member organizations in the Break The Silence National Network. 2. Key personnel and management in the Philippine National Police, the Department of Social Welfare and Development and the Department of Education. Indirect target groups: • Children and adults in the communities/localities covered by the operations of the direct target groups. • Other partners of the target groups (e.g. other child protection networks).

Resume

Projektets overordnede mål er at konsolidere og videreudvikle Stairway Foundations 'Break the Silence' kampagne mod seksuelle overgreb mod børn, ikke mindst i lyset af den alarmerende stigning i online seksuelt misbrug og udnyttelse af børn. Projektet vil 1) Konsolidere og videreudvikle det landsdækkende 'Break the Silence' netværk af 45+ lokale NGO'er, som er aktive deltagere i indsatsen. 2) Udvikle og uddybe vores unikke partnerskab med politi og myndigheder. 3) Videreudvikle SFI's banebrydende materialer og metoder om forebyggelse af overgreb mod børn, også on-line.
