The forum lasts until August 26, with four key topics on violence against children, sexual abuse and early marriage, child labour, and abuse in cyberspace.
On the morning of August 26, participating children will join a dialogue with representatives from different State agencies and organisations.
Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Dao Hong Lan said the forum helps children’ voices be listened by authorities and gain feedback.
