Help with translations
Child friendly materials are currently being printed and will be produced as a joint package within a folder, containing the child-friendly version of the report and the Educational Materials. The Educational Materials are action-oriented and provide activities that can be used to help young people learn about the issue and ideas for taking action against violence.These will be launched in New York on 11 October.
Efforts are being made to ensure the publications are translated into as many languages as possible, but this often means relying on you for help.
The Secretariat for the Study would very much like to hear from anyone who may have plans for translating these or who would be able to help with translations.
