IN PHOTOS | 13 November 2024, the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) led the annual observance of National Children’s Month with the State of the Children Address 2024 and an Oathtaking Ceremony for the Parents Federation and Parents Committee Officers held at the San Pedro Astrodome.
In its 32nd year, the 2024 National Children’s Month highlights the theme, “Break the Prevalence, End the Violence: Protecting Children, Creating a Safe Philippines!” —a theme developed from children’s input and endorsed by the CWC Board during its 1st Quarter Regular Meeting.
Aligned with this theme, the month-long celebration seeks to raise public awareness of the widespread issue of violence against children, promote policies and initiatives to prevent and respond to such violence at all governance levels and empower children, parents, caregivers, and communities to recognize and report incidents of violence against children.
