Every year one billion children are victims of cruel acts of violence. That’s one in two children on the planet. This November, the first-ever Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children will take place in Colombia. And it has the potential to change the course of those one billion childhoods.
When world leaders meet in Colombia this November, the perspectives of young people need to be central to the conversation. Restless Development is partnering with Conference co-hosts the World Health Organization, the governments of Colombia and Sweden, UNICEF and the UN Special Representative on ending violence, to connect Ministers with young people’s realities.

What’s the Safe Photography Project?
Restless Development is working with 12 young photographers on the movement to end violence against children – positively disrupting the point of view on an issue affecting half the world’s girls and boys. Through ‘Safe’ – a high-profile immersive photo exhibition – we will tell the story of what feeling safe means to young people around the world.
