The ASEAN Guidelines for A Non-Violent Approach to Nurture, Care and Development of Children, in All Settings

The Regional Plan of Action (RPA) on Elimination of Violence against Children (EVAC) and the ASEAN Guidelines for a Non-violent Approach to Nurture, Care and Development of Children in All Settings (hence onwards shall be known as the ASEAN Guidelines, or Guidelines) are both pertaining to the elimination of violence against children. This Guidelines complements the ASEAN RPA on EVAC which serves as a blueprint or roadmap for AMS. The RPA is at the “macro” level, while the Guidelines is at the “micro” level i.e. the seven settings.

This ASEAN Guidelines is one of the priorities under the area of prevention of the ASEAN RPA on EVAC. One of the steps to prevent and eventually eliminate violence against children is to adopt a non-violent approach to nurture, care and development of children in all settings.
