Around 40% of Armenian children experienced some form of physical punishment in the past month. Aiming to prevent violence World Vision Armenia’s youth together with the IMPACT club members organised a biking event during which the participants disseminated booklets spreading messages against violence.

Theatre shows with the participation of teachers, parents and guests have been performed showing different situations of violence. A facebook flash mob was also carried out changing profile pictures and spreading child protection messages.

In the capital city of Armenia the youth clubs organised child abuse prevention trainings and awareness raising campaigns, as well as essay competitions about violence among children.
