We have also been able to train our volunteers and staff on Child Safegurding; while working with the children it’s the responsibility of SCOEN to make sure our staff, operations, and programmes do no harm the children, do not expose children to the risk of harm and abuse, and any concerns the organization has about children’s safety within the communities in which we work, are reported to the appropriate authorities.
We acknowledge risks and implement measures to address them is fundamental to organizations’ strategies and governance. The more this is recognized, the more risks can be prevented.

Whats Girls' Parliament and how we intend to run it?
A Girl’s Parliament consists of a sequence of sessions, each leading to the intended outcome. Child Marriage may not be discussed in the initial sessions to avoid community backlash. Related motivational activities will be used to introduce the topic. The initial sessions will be informed by the local context of the community.
The main objective of Girls’ parliament is to create a platform that promotes critical reflection that allows for questioning of beliefs, myths and practices in order to realize a change in social norms to accelerate the abandonment of Child Marriage.
This will: -
The following steps are essential in organizing and conducting the girl’s parliament:
Training of community facilitators; stakeholders’ mapping and engagement; participant identification; develop leading questions; venue selection; and timing of the dialogue; Participant mobilization - a maximum of 45 participants is advisable for one facilitator.
It’s also important to understand how to conduct such effective sessions to bring about the desired change. Like to: - introduce the purpose of the dialogue; language of the dialogue, rules of engagement; community resolve and action plan; evaluating the dialogue and concluding the dialogue
FACILITATION:
Facilitation plays a significant role as it ensures that the objectives are met. It is thus imperative to have a qualified individual who will understand the qualities, roles and responsibilities of facilitation to effectively moderate theconversation. This person will be sourced to facilitate, conversant with Child Marriage issues and may be able to handle different scenarios. she may be confronted with different scenarios during the dialogue process that may hinder successful engagement and conclusion of the process
