In order to effectively implement activities in the month, the Yen Bai Steering Committee for child protection underlined the need to strengthen collaboration among local departments, sectors and organisations in caring and protecting children, preventing abuse and violence against children as well as drowning and incidents among children. At the same time, it is necessary to build models of community-based child protection under diverse forms, according to the committee.
