We coordinate prevention, response, and advocacy across the forms of violence children face most - turning a shared agenda into protection on the ground.
NACG EVaC Sri Lanka does not work in silos. Across all six focus areas, we coordinate government bodies, civil society, communities, and children to mount a joined-up national response to violence.
Our work spans ten types of activity - from direct advocacy to research to child participation programmes - ensuring protection reaches from policy to practice.
We work to keep girls in school and free to choose their own futures - combining community awareness, legal protection, and support for families to end early and forced marriage. Child marriage denies girls their right to education, health, and self-determination.
We identify children in hazardous and exploitative work and support their safe return to education - while addressing the economic pressures that push families toward child labour. Every child deserves a childhood, not a workplace.
We strengthen prevention, safe reporting, and survivor-centred care so children are protected from abuse and exploitation - online and offline - and survivors receive the support they need to heal and recover.
We work across borders and sectors to disrupt trafficking networks, protect children at risk, and walk with survivors on the long path to recovery and reintegration. Trafficking is both a child rights violation and a crime - we treat it as both.
We promote positive discipline in homes, schools, and care settings - equipping parents and teachers with non-violent approaches that protect children's dignity and wellbeing. Corporal punishment is never acceptable, and alternatives exist.
We ensure children have a genuine voice in the policies, programmes, and decisions that affect their lives - because protection is strongest when children help shape it. Meaningful participation is both a right and a safeguarding tool.
