The Second Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children will take place on 18–19 November 2026, and will be preceded by two days of independently organized satellite events, on 16–17 November.The Ministerial Conference is co-organized by the Government of the Philippines, as host, together with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and in collaboration with the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General on Violence Against Children (SRSG-VAC).It will convene Ministers and senior officials from Member States and United Nations agencies, alongside child, youth, faith, funder, academic, civil society and survivor leaders to highlight innovation, showcase implementation progress, and make new, additional and stronger pledges for the one billion boys and girls affected by violence.With a prevention-first approach, the Conference will focus on the three best-proven ‘breakthrough’ solutions – parent and caregiver support, safe and enabling schools, and response systems – while increasing attention on escalating priorities including prevention of tech-facilitated violence, prevention in humanitarian and climate contexts and the intersection of violence against children and violence against women. Ministerial delegations are encouraged to reflect this focus, with strong representation across Health, Education, Justice and Technology alongside Social Affairs/Social Welfare.Join government, funder, civil society, private sector, child, youth and survivor leaders for this milestone moment – celebrating progress, renewing our collective commitment to prevent all forms of violence against children and accelerating action to deliver SDG 16.2.Registration is now closed.
