Five years on - A global update on Violence Against ChildrenThomas Müller
This document is a report from 2011 that provides a global update on violence against children five years after the UN Secretary-General's study on the issue. It summarizes research from NGOs and UN agencies on ongoing violence against children in the home, schools, care institutions, workplaces, and communities. While some progress has been made in addressing violence, the report finds that violence remains widespread, socially accepted in many places, and that more work is still needed to fulfill children's right to grow up in an environment free from violence.
ChildLine counselled over 9,000 children about loneliness in 2008-2009. Loneliness calls have tripled over the past five years, disproportionately affecting boys. Loneliness stems from family problems, bullying, abuse, depression, and bereavement. While normal for some, loneliness devastates others. Counselors note increasing loneliness may relate to busy lifestyles distancing family members and greater acceptance of discussing emotions.
The document summarizes key aspects of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child including:
1) It was adopted in 1989 and has near universal ratification, establishing comprehensive rights for children.
2) It outlines general principles of non-discrimination, prioritizing the child's best interests, ensuring children's survival and development, and respecting their views.
3) It covers civil, political, economic, social, health and cultural rights of children.
This document outlines a community monitoring plan to monitor the re-recruitment of demobilized child soldiers in Southern Sudan and support their social reintegration.

Data will be analyzed and included in monthly and annual reports to advocate to state and national governments to increase funding for social services to prevent re-recruitment and support rehabilitation. The community monitoring process will also be used for local advocacy and training of community members.

Distribution of Climate Information on the 3-2-1 PlatformGreg Benchwick
The Human Network Internationa's David McAfee shared this presentation in the recent UNDP Last Mile Conference in Zambia.
Climate information and early warning systems can save lives, improve livelihoods and build resiliency across Africa. In order to seize this opportunity, timely, accurate and actionable weather and climate information must be delivered from data collection and creation sources across the “Last Mile” to uninformed and vulnerable end-users.
In this innovation-driven multi-country workshop, experts on cutting-edge technology, communications, public-private partnerships, meteorology and sustainable development will come together to explore new pathways to move from the collection of data to its application, with the end goal of creating actionable recommendations that UNDP-supported climate-information programmes can leverage to impact lives and build sustainability. For this to happen, national weather information services should not only have access to modern weather observation technologies and forecast information, but they must also be able to communicate and apply the content derived from these systems to those in need.

Global progress and delay in ending violence against childrenThomas Müller
The International NGO Council on Violence against Children was established in 2006 to work with NGOs and other partners, including member states, to ensure that the recommendations from the UN Study on Violence against Children are effectively implemented. Now, as the Sustainable Development Goals adopt the call to end all violence against children and the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children take up the mantle of pursuing this goal, the NGO Council publishes its fourth and final report.
The report concludes that for many children around the world violence is an ever present fact of life. Where progress has been made, it remains tainted by its limitations. The contributions from key global experts on violence against children point to some hard truths about our failings, but also to the way ahead.

the special status of the child, focuses exclusively on
rehabilitation and reintegration and protects the child
from all forms of violence.
The International NGO Council on Violence Against Children: "creating a non-v...Thomas Müller
The International NGO Council on Violence Against Children has launched it latest report, "Creating a non-violent juvenile justice system". This report is a follow-up to the 2006 UN Study on Violence against Children. This report has been written to address the growing epidemic and global magnitude of the violence being experienced by children in juvenile justice systems. Whilst aspiring to clarify the many ways in which governments are failing to protect children in conflict with the law, the report also presents a non-violence vision of juvenile justice.
Chat Counselling for Children and Youth - A HandbookThomas Müller
This book was developed by Trine Sindahl from the Child Helpline International Danish member organisations Bornsvilkar. Child Helpline International has translated it from Danish into English language in order to make this great resource avaialble to a bigger target group.
Categorising or labelling large and diverse groups of people as vulnerable can lead to fragmented and
ineffective interventions, which ignore overlapping vulnerabilities and the changing nature of
vulnerabilities over time, even during one specific crisis”. To effectively and strategically respond to
the protection needs of populations across the conflict impacted region, decision makers must
determine which vulnerable groups are most in need of humanitarian support and what the factors
are that increase and compound their vulnerabilities.

Guidelines for Children on Child Online ProtectionThomas Müller
Here are some key points about children and young people's use of technology:
- Access to technology is increasing rapidly. More children have access to digital devices and the internet at younger ages.
- Popular online activities include searching for information, playing games, social networking, and doing schoolwork.
- As children get older (from ages 9-16), daily internet use increases significantly - from 19% to 80% in one study.
- The internet allows children to explore interests, be creative, connect with peers, and access educational resources. However, it also exposes them to potential risks like inappropriate content, cyberbullying, and interacting with strangers.
- It is important that children are aware of both the opportunities
Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian ActionThomas Müller
The Child Protection Working Group (CPWG) is the global level forum for coordination and collaboration on child protection in humanitarian settings. The group brings together NGOs, UN agencies, academics and other partners under the shared objective of ensuring more predictable, accountable and effective child protection responses in emergencies. - See more at: http://cpwg.net/cpwg/#sthash.wTqjET4D.dpuf
In 2010 the members of the global CPWG agreed on the need for child protection standards in humanitarian settings. The Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action were developed between January 2011 and September 2012. The process of drafting the Minimum Standards involved over 400 individuals from 30 agencies in over 40 countries, including child protection practitioners, humanitarian actors from other sectors, academics and policy makers. - See more at: http://cpwg.net/minimum-standards/#sthash.01h1va2Z.dpuf

New Media Campaigns from Child helplinesThomas Müller
This document lists several organizations and campaigns across Europe that help children: Greece's The Smile of the Child TV channel, the UK's NSPCC Childline's anti-cyberbullying and anti-bullying campaigns, Romania's Asociata Telefonul Copilului text message fundraiser on Facebook, Sweden's BRIS idol cards campaign, and Spain's UNICEF app that encourages bringing mobile phones to school to help children.
- Children ages 4-12 are increasingly using smartphones, tablets, and other devices to play games and apps. The iPad is the most popular tablet, and Angry Birds and Where's My Water are the most popular apps.
- Younger children's app choices are determined by parents, while older children are influenced by friends. Many parents do not pay for apps due to cost.
- Educational value, appropriate age level, and brand trustworthiness are the most important factors for parents choosing apps for their children. Common app issues include ads, in-app purchases, and privacy/security concerns.
The document discusses using video within child helpline organizations. It explores applying video techniques, such as participatory video, to help child helplines with objectives like informing and educating children, fundraising, promoting the helpline services, and internal communication. The document also considers questions around the persuasiveness, evocativeness, action orientation, and reflexivity of participatory video. Practical video activities are suggested, such as brainstorming stories and shooting short videos.
This document discusses several campaigns conducted by BRIS, a Swedish organization that provides support services to children, including:
1. The Idolcard campaign, an annual campaign since 1998 where celebrities participate by providing a childhood photo and story to show children they are not alone.
2. Promoting the website barnperspektivet.se, which provides support for adults, through marketing campaigns in major newspapers and on Facebook with ads and status updates.
3. The BRIS Challenge, a fundraising competition where participants travel through Sweden inviting communities to raise the most funds for BRIS through their website and Facebook.
The document summarizes the findings of a Danish research and development program on chat counseling from 2007-2011. It discusses how chat counseling is a useful way to provide counseling services to children and youth, as it allows for anonymity, control over the interaction, and can be accessed independently of time and location. The typical user of chat counseling services is described as a girl in puberty who has serious or complex problems and prefers the anonymity and control provided by online chat to discuss her issues. Research on chat counseling services in multiple countries found they can be as or more effective than telephone counseling. Developing rapport and alliance with the user is important for positive outcomes. The presentation concludes chat counseling is an effective way to provide support to at-risk
This document outlines how a volunteer organization uses new technologies like their website MyISPCC and social media to organize and communicate with volunteers across different regions of Ireland.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
