This month’s issue of the Child Protection Initiative (CPI) Newsletter is produced jointly with the Education Global Initiative and focuses specifically on Violence Free Schools. It includes an interview with a school student in Durres, Albania, who speaks out on violence in schools and the expert opinion contributed by Mr. Kishore Singh, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education. Also included is Save the Children's Policy Paper on violence against children in and around school, which provides recommendations for action by both Save the Children and the children themselves.
