This Toolkit is an invitation to be part of this movement and to continue taking action together to further invest in the spiritual development of children and to address violence against children in all its forms.
 
The toolkit will be launched during the symposium on Protecting Children’s Dignity! A call to action for Children on the Move, which will take place on 17-18 November 2022 in Rome, Italy.
