The second part of our event will be held in two breakout groups to further explore findings and reflections from the projects presented in these panel discussions. And then finally, the findings and recommendations from these discussions will be including a summary note that will be part of the overall global protection from events summary. So that's a bit of the overview. I'd now like to pass to my co-facilitator Davina to introduce herself. So over to you Davina. Okay, so before starting, I would first of all like to say there are sometimes my camera be on and off course my bandwidth is really unstable. So good morning everyone and welcome to this session and to my presentation. First of all, Permit me to thank the Almighty God and you all for coming here today. It is an honour to have the opportunity to address such a distinguished audience. So I'm going to, the team is going to share my screen for the PowerPoint presentation. Okay. So I am Davina Maloum, your second co-moderator for this session. I am the founder of Children for Peace. I am a disability practitioner, cartoonist, humanitarian, nuclear non-proliferation activist and international speaker and a student in AI and big data. So you can go to the next slide. Okay, so here I'm going to do a presentation of Children for Peace. So before presenting Children for Peace, I'm going to give a little context of political context in Africa. So basically it is characterised by an escalation of violence and insecurity perpetrated by terrorist groups like Boko Aham, Al Shabbat and the various affiliations of Al Qaeda, which are relatively well known, both regionally and globally. And Cameroon, my country is in the grip of multiple conflict in the East, in the North and also the anglophone crisis specifically in the North. So you can go to the next slide. Okay, basically Children for Peace is a girl-led movement created in 2015 after the first attack by Boko Aham and we are working across Cameroon and other countries in Africa for children's rights, gender, gender, equity, peace-building and to increase the number of children's participation in public policies. So basically before talking about our project, the various project we had, we mobilised children in complex cultural backgrounds and affected areas by war to define and implement action plans and several local and nationwide activities, among which we have awareness raising campaigns, realisation of documentaries on peace-building, children workshops and peace cartoons. Okay, so, as I said, we have some projects. Basically, we'll start with Silence the Gun. So Silence the Gun basically is an integrated citizen engagement project led by girls aiming to realise a conflict free Africa by engaging children and girls to mobilize all stakeholders, to recognise efforts on peace, children's and girls' rights and effect on socio-economic development. So the project aims to democratise and shape local governance and conflict management thereby unleaching grassroots approaches. Okay, here we can see that we have been engaging with children where we organise some sensitisation campaigns and each child is engaging to say they are standing up to silence the guns. Okay, so the DDR Tech, this is the Disarmament's Immobilisation and Reintegration Technology for Exercise Soldiers. So basically, Children for Peace has been working closely with the African Nation of Young Leaders for Peace and Sustainable Development to develop an application called the DDR Tech Disarmament's Immobilisation and Reintegration Technology for Exercise Soldiers. So, basically, the project aims to fight against the arwamel of children in armed groups by providing them with favourable socio-economic reintegration opportunities in civilian life. So basically, the project is still under development. Okay, so I'm going to conclude with this, with the African Pyraments for Girls. So the African Pyraments for Girls is an official forum for girls to look at the local and global problems and come up with their own solutions. So the aim of the project is to uniform youths about political processes and get them involved in their schools and communities. So basically, it would help them to, like, it would help in power children and specifically girls. So thank you all for your kind attention. Okay, so before passing to the panel discussion, we are going to do a quick poll to get a sense of how much people know about this topic. If you're so excited as I am, I invite each and everyone of you to click the link in the chat and answer the questions so you can go on. I get a sense that that is the final poll. I don't see the numbers changing. So it seems here that most people are somewhat confident in terms of community negotiations for access, but for many people, this is to a new area for them. We're now going to pass to the following question on the Menity poll, if that's all right. How confident are you with children's participation for projects related to access? How confident are you with children's participation for projects related to access? Okay, so the results are coming in. Thanks so much everyone for taking part. It seems to the majority this is actually a very new area for people in terms of child participation for projects related to access. There are some who are somewhat confident and 21 who are very confident. So great to have you on board. Okay, I think that's the final numbers here. So thanks again for taking part. So again, like I say, it seems that the majority, this is still a really new area for you. And that's great to have you here and hopefully in this space today we can learn a bit more around child participation in these processes. Right, we'll move on to the next part of our talk. And so here the idea is basically we're going to have a panel discussion. I'd like to introduce two of my colleagues from Save the Children for this part where we're going to explain in a bit more detail community negotiation. So we have with us Roberta Gadler. She is the Child Protection Technical Advisor from the Mali Country Office for Save the Children. A warm welcome to Roberta. And we have Fernanda Almaida. She is a researcher system for the Civil Military Unit from Save the Children International. A great welcome to you as well Fernanda. We're basically going to start up with a discussion with Roberta and with Fernanda. But just for context, I'm going to start off with a quick introduction around the situation in Mali just for those who maybe are not so associated with the situation. So since 2012, Mali's been facing an unprecedented and complex crisis where insecurity is adding to weak governance, high hunger rates, climate change and pre-existing vulnerabilities. And despite the peace and reconciliation agreement in 2015, insecurity is still growing in the north and the centre of the country and is now spreading to the southern parts of the country. Inter-community clashes have intensified in the area of the Mali-Bakina Faso Niger borders. And the complexity of this context is due to the multi-level conflict, including different kinds of armed actors and groups, including radical self-dispense groups, militias, organised community groups, state and international armed forces, various agendas and interests, and adding to this ethnic and historical composite relationships, including ties, rivalries among different groups. Save the Children in Mali has been engaging since 2019 with humanitarian agencies, communities and non-state armed actors to facilitate better humanitarian access and promote protection of children through the respect of international humanitarian law and human rights law. Before I pass to Fernanda, I'm just going to give a little bit of context to the work that we ourselves here in Colombia did with the team with Fernanda. So we were part of a study with Fernanda's team around community negotiation access to basic services that was done both in Colombia and also in South Sudan. So in the Colombia context, unfortunately, despite the peace accords in 2016 here in Colombia, we still see the impact of armed conflict to this day. I think it's important to say that we're not seeing one armed conflict, but multiple narratives of armed conflict that tend to affect some of the most marginalised and vulnerable communities here in Colombia. For the purpose of this study, we were focusing on the departments of Bale de Calca, Calca and Anínio, which are part of the coastal Pacific here in Colombia. And then we went to the border regions, including Arauca, where we were able to understand a bit of the dynamic that you see on the Venezuela-Colombia border, which has a double affectation, not just around conflict, but also of the Venezuela migration refugee crisis. So that's a little bit context on my end. I'd now like to pass over to Fernanda, who can provide a little bit more background around the results of the study that we did in December of last year. So over to you, Fernanda. Nice. Thanks for introducing the research, Amy. Thanks to having you all here. So I would just give a brief introduction again, and then I will go directly to the main findings. But this research was a joint effort with the Norwegian Refugee Council, and we aim to provide evidence and to better understand the choices that communities make and the techniques they employ to negotiate with armed doctors for improvements in their access and protection. And we try to determine what added value, if any, humanitarian actors may offer to community land negotiations, taking the case of Colombia and South Sudan. And we, after literature review and extensive research, a pre-desk research, we found that we would like to go to Colombia and South Sudan because of previous connections with the country offices as well and the situation of climate conflict and access there. So in the study, we used a mixed method approach with literature review, semi-structure interviews, focus group discussions and service. So we had three main indicators for this research. It was protection threats, community social fabric and community leverage. And in Colombia, as Amy mentioned, we visited four departments. And in South Sudan, we visited six different states. And we had, in the end, 141 research tools. I think we have a slide where we can just display the map of the locations where we visited and the total of tools. Yes, so in the part of the page, you can see South Sudan and in the top, you can see Colombia. And then regarding the results, we found, I will give you really quick, but you can, after, we can share more results. But we found high levels of perceived deprivation and unsafety in both places, but it varied based on personal experiences and the country. In Colombia, everyone reported lack of access, most commonly healthcare, education and job opportunities, access to watch services, electricity and internet, roads and other basic infrastructure was also highlighted, not least to guarantee food security. And the lack of access is often caused by lack of land rights and restriction and freedom of movement due to fear of violence. And most common threats were child and youth recruitment and extortion. And the presence of minds, kidnappings, disappearance and violence, killings and sexual violence were also occasionally mentioned. In South Sudan, 81% of respondents reported lack of access to resources, goods and services, because it was not safe. Education, food and healthcare were the most commonly mentioned resource, goods or services that they struggled to access. And the lack of access was mentioned as often caused by restricted freedom of movement due to threat of violence. And the common threats were killing, theft, casual raiding, rape and child abduction. And a curiosity of these, we perceived violence in the communities is that men reported feeling less safe than women. And sometimes we don't expect that. We also found that social cohesion depends on the location and the demographics, where in general there was higher social cohesion in Colombia than in South Sudan. In both countries, younger participants were more willing to work collectively with their community and community leaders had greater trust for other community members. However, in South Sudan, participants were less likely to know their groups than those in Colombia. I, 30 seconds. I will talk short for the second one. But then also the capacity of the community varied a lot. And in both places, they had community committees in Colombia junta de acción comunal. In South Sudan, religious leaders were really important to negotiate. And when we asked about the presence of humanitarians there, most of them wanted humanitarians to be there to have a presence and to follow up with the negotiations. But the community itself and the community members, they already knew the armed groups in South Sudan less than in Colombia, but they knew how to negotiate with them for their access. Even though the lack of access was great, the capacity of negotiation was also good. So, yes, I would just give the floor to Amy again. Okay, perfect. Thanks so much, Fernanda. So, I'm conscious of time, but I know that it would be great for us if we could speak to Roberta thinking about this context that we have in Mali. So, bueno, again, Roberta, a very warm welcome to you and thanks so much for taking part. Roberta, one of the questions I wanted to ask is how we save the children supporting communities and children in negotiations for protection in the context of Mali. Thank you, Amy, and I hope you heard me well. So, thank you, everybody, to be here. So, as you introduced a little bit already the context and the work that Save the Children is doing in the last years with communities on one side and I'm not saying directly on the other side. So, one of the initiatives that we had that Save the Children had is the stop the war against children campaign that gave out the opportunity to engage directly with the community leaders and regions. Religious leaders and train them so that they develop their own action plans to promote social cohesion and child protection, of course, and access for children to basic services like education. So, one example of a result of this work is that the community and religious leaders, they took the initiative to dialogue and negotiate with some what we call the extremist armed groups to reopen, to allow to reopen. Some schools were closed due to insecurity in the center of Mali, so in Jene and Badiagara villages. In parallel, we have been working with children directly involving them in an initiative called Children and Youth Ambassadors for Peace. So, Save the Children supported children and youth led the organization on the school, Save School Declaration to develop a doc as the strategy and address messages to all the conflict stakeholders including the government, like the Minister of Defense and Security, the Prime Minister, and also some of the unknown state actors and sub-defense groups. So, children were really at the center of the awareness-raising activities on degree violations and on the Save School Declaration that was endorsed by Mali in 2018. And as a result, they had this engagement from some of these unknown state actors to commit to never occupy schools, to authorize humanitarian actors to implement conflict-sensitive educational programs, such as school monitoring committees without their presence, or letting them work on it without fear of retreat and retaliation. Thank you for the slide. And so, the unknown state actors committed also to train their own troop on the guidelines for promoting schools from military use during the conflict. And finally, as we were saying, Save the Children supports the community negotiation, also involving directly and discussing negotiating directly with some of the unknown state actors, particularly the groups who are a signatory of this agreement, a job risk agreement of 2015, and some of the sub-defense groups that are active in the center of Mali. So, we train them and we engage them in some workshops that they develop action plans and engagement on the international humanitarian law, the human rights respect, the respect of Paris principles and a sixth grade violation against children in conflict, of course. So, they pledge to release associated children to increase humanitarian access and to stop occupation of schools and kidnap and recruitment of children. So, that's a brief overview. Thank you. Now, thank you so much, Roberta. I think it's really interesting and it's so great to hear of an actual implementation based experience that you've had in Mali. Recognising that you've covered a huge number of stakeholders in this work, my following question really is, I imagine working with such a range of stakeholders, there's going to be some challenges and potential opportunities now. So, my question is, what are the main challenges and opportunities to continue to support communities in negotiating for their own protection in this Mali and context? Yes, of course, there are a lot of challenges, I would say, and the main are related to the actual situation, the political and the security situation. As you said, the conflict is spreading from the north and the center of the country to the south and the west. And that means that there is a restriction of the humanitarian access due to insecurity and possible attacks even targeting humanitarian staff. The nature of the conflict itself makes it challenging to work with the different actors. Of course, there is an overlap of the armed conflict to intercommunity tensions that are often also used and instrumentalised by some groups to promote their own agendas. And so it contrasts really the efforts to promote social cohesion. And so the engaging communities on negotiation can also have adverse effects and there is a need to be really careful to not put them in further risk. So, for example, there are some situations that we faced where we couldn't involve communities as a central focal point in reporting on grave violations of children's rights or other sensitive activities because it would expose them for the risk. So we also face a limited capacity to follow up on the action plans that the armed non-state actors signed because of course these are not compulsory. And so their implementation and to get evidence of the impact is not so easy. For us, we need to really keep this balance between our neutrality as a humanitarian actor and the capacity to denounce violations and to follow up on this engagement. So in terms of opportunities, we would see for sure that the systematic conflict analysis that we are doing with the communities allows us to have a better understanding of the conflict dynamic and to adapt our strategies according to the situation that is of course evolving and to find the better way to negotiate and to access to have acceptance and access to people of course and to children. So then for sure the central role of the community and religious leaders in promoting also the social cohesion and the child protection access of children to services is something that we would like to consider an opportunity and of course to strengthen. And finally I would just say that the child participation in the peace process is something really promising practices and so we are right now working with the child parliament of Mali involving them. They are leading actually an initiative to build a policy guidance tool to support the meaningful participation of children in the peace process in Mali. So that's really promising and I hope we will have the chance to tell you more in the future on that. Thank you very much. No, thank you so much, Roberta. I think that's so interesting and I wholeheartedly agree with what you said about child and youth led participation in peace processes here in Columbia I think we've seen the real power that young people can have in those peace processes in the importance of their presence. I just want to finish off with Fernanda before we pass over to Davina. Fernanda, listening to these examples that we have from Roberta and Mali. No, I think it's really a visual representation of the study in practice. No, and a bit more I imagine of some of the findings you mentioned earlier. So my question is from the findings of that study Fernanda and listening to what Roberta said in Mali. How do you think we can adapt our ways of working to participate and really support communities in some of these negotiations. I think all that we found in Colombia and South Sudan is really related to what Roberta just mentioned. Maybe she can present also some lessons learned from Mali where we can implement in Colombia and South Sudan and hopefully in other places. But we got the feeling and the evidence and the data from these research saying that people are lacking access. They have knowledge on how to negotiate. Of course, there are some protection issues and risks and there's also a lot of contextual analysis needed. And as we've seen in the beginning of this event, humanitarian access is not an end goal, but it needs to fulfill a broader goal of making people safe. So with this, we just try to gather all the information to try to promote and support communities that already know how to negotiate to better achieve the constraints that they are struggling with. So we tried to, we tried, it is a working progress, but for us we are aiming to provide a tool where community members and country level staff can together think on ways of how to negotiate with our doctors. Being then local authorities or non-state armed groups knowing that the communities they already have a lot of knowledge. So the idea that we found needed is to provide a systematized way of doing so because the knowledge is already there and the idea is to prepare for negotiation dialogues. We based this tool that we draft from the tools from the CCHN manual for negotiators. So we were inspired by them and we tried to think on ways on how we can provide community center baselines and ensure adequate and appropriate programming, how we could strengthen and give invisibility to women, youth and religious leaders. And youth appeared as one of the most important groups in achieving these goals related to access and protection. So the idea is to try to implement this tool in some sense in the local area in-field and try to see if this is supporting or not the negotiations dialogue. So we will have a space to better debate and discuss this in the breakout room. If you stay in the breakout room one, we will try to test using a scenario. But yes, we found a lot of knowledge from local communities and especially youth and women and local leaders in them. So we just want you to facilitate. We don't want a top-down approach, but yes, I think this was the main goal from the final. Thanks so much, Fernanda. And before we close, Fernanda Roberta, I don't know if there's any closing remarks you have thinking about this study, the learnings and lessons that we've heard from Roberta and Mali before we pass on to Delina. Maybe just on what Fernanda said that of course the context are very different and the situation is different from one country to another and even from one part of one side one country and another. But I think that it's very useful to do this kind of learning and exchange of lesson learned from one place to another. And as we will see in the breakout room with these tools, they can be adapted and the base of this kind of research could really be useful in different context and situation. Thank you. Yes, I agree with Roberta. Perfect. Well, thanks so much, Roberta and Fernanda. And I look forward to that breakout room where we can explore in more detail as Roberta says some of those contextual differences and understanding the exchange that we can have between different countries to facilitate these processes. So right now I'd like to pass over to my co-facilitator Davina, who I understand is going to introduce a segment of participation from the Philippines. So over to you Fernanda. Davina, sorry. Thank you for giving me the floor, Ami. So actually, I am enjoyed because it is a pleasure for me to introduce two amazing young people, Karl Baguk and Kate Bitham, who are both adolescent representatives from the CHI and Adolescent Survivor Initiative call groups. And community and family services internationally CFSI based in the Philippines and are here to talk a bit about their experiences. But here I call for the attention of each and every one of you because before we begin with the questions, we want to show you an interesting six minute videos of the project in the Philippines. So pay great attention to that. There are a lot of sexual abuse cases among children. Particularly if you look at the age range, it's more of 13 years old until 15. So given the situation of the experiences of the adolescent in terms of child protection and gender-based violence, CFSI together with UNICEF, we are now implementing the Participatory Barrier Analysis. This project is a youth-led initiative that is being implemented by eight core group members in Sambwanga City. The Barrier Analysis is about a new-led participatory action analysis that projects where we as children, adolescents and new-led are doing the same thing as a consultant to identify barriers to accessing services and design changes that we are also implementing in that area. In the first one of the Barrier Analysis project, it talks about or consults with agencies that are involved or are responding to the cases of sexual violence and other types of abuse of children. To find out what are the barriers to accessing services for victims of abuse. We also have identified three change activities or activities that can be done by children like us, so that the needs of other children in schools, barangais, and other communities have more children. So the first one is the use of social media to increase information dissemination and address social issues. The second one is to conduct advocacy-raising activities to further improve family support and address problem social issues. The third one is refresher courses and trainings for stakeholders and services providers and a formation of multidisciplinary case conference to address issues on referral mechanisms and structural support along with child-sensitive case management. I learned that we should give young people the opportunity to speak and listen to and stand for their rights and be together in this cause, helping and sharing no-snow age or gender. We will ask media about youth participation, especially involvement or engaging them in terms of the cases of sexual abuse. I think it would be best and it's part of the fundamental rights that they should always be involved and engage when you talk about youth development. They should always be part of the conversation because they knew better what is best for them. Sexual abuse and exploitation destroy lives, it destroys relationships and even affect the future of the victims. In the city of Zambuaga, I get a report daily from the Philippine National Police and whenever I get reports of violations against women and children, I immediately refer them to the social services department so that additional counseling can be given. My vision for Zambuaga City is to be a safe space for all children and as a multicultural city, I envision a nuanced and inclusive approach to child protection that takes into consideration the cultural issues and the multi-lens perspective. We, the Women and Children Protection Centre, Mindanao Field Unit, would like to extend our support to the project of community and family services internationally. And we strongly encourage other stakeholders to take action towards this cause. As a child of adolescence, we need to participate and be active in the activities to help the development of our culture and culture. When we invest in children, we invest in their future. This is our commitment to making our children's future a reality today. Every child has a right to a safe environment. Be an advocate. Support young people of Zambuaga City in building a community where no child is harmed or abused. No one, no one, no one, no one, no one, no one, no one left behind. Wow, I don't know for you but I was particularly moved away by the video we saw and the powerful message we heard. You know sexual abuse and exploitation of children is a violation of human rights and a public health problem with significant consequences for global health and development. So seeing young people and adults working together to address this situation is so fantastic. So I'm going to ask some questions to Carl and Ketra. Good morning everyone. I would like to introduce myself. I'm Catra. Yes, he's a member of the Adolescent Score Group of the participatory barrier analysis in the Philippines. I'm currently in first year college taking up Bachelor of Science in Nursing. And also I'm passionate about helping adolescents and young people to speak up for themselves and to be the voice of those who can. And to you Carl. Hello, good afternoon once again and good morning to everyone. My name is Carl and I'm also one of the core group member of participatory barrier analysis project from the Philippines. And today we will present to you our project. So Carl and Ketra, thanks again so much for being with us. Carl, my first question really is what are the reflections of different stakeholders in this project? I think it sounds amazing this project and thanks so much for the video. So, you know, I think we heard that there were community leaders, service providers, teachers, youth involved. So what have been the main reflections from all these different stakeholders to what you guys are doing? Yes, thank you so much mom. Good afternoon once again to everyone. So for the first question, what were the reflection of stakeholders coming from local government officials, service providers, and also from teachers. So for local government officials, they were amazed because the project was led by the adolescents and for adolescents itself. They have never encountered this kind of project where a member of the target sector led the project themselves. Second, the reflections coming from service provider, they were also amazed because we as adolescents or core group rose to the challenge in a time of pandemic when there are issues and cases of sexual and gender-based violence. They said that it is rare for adolescents and young people like us to participate and lead this kind of initiative instead of being concerned only with our personal lives. And lastly, the reflections coming from the teachers, there were surprised that at such a young age, we were able to lead this kind of project. Of course to address the issue of sexual violence against adolescents and looking at us, they were happy and thankful of what we have become because some of them were our teachers before. So that's all. That's amazing. Wow, that they were your teachers before. Incredible. And actually, to be honest from Columbia, I think this project is incredible and there's so much I think we could do as young people here. So it would be great at some point to connect again with you guys. Catherine and Carl, I guess my next question really is listening to what we saw in the video and what Carl has just mentioned with different stakeholders. What are the next steps for you guys in terms of the project? Where do you guys want to go with it? Thank you so much. So the question is what were the next steps? So the next step that we plan with our core group is based on the findings, change activities or interventions were identified and prioritized by the adolescents and key stakeholders. We're also used of social media to increase information dissemination and access to services and also to conduct of advocacy activities to improve family support and address prevalent issues. And then to also conduct of refresher course and trainings for stakeholders and services providers and the formation of multi stakeholder case conference to address issues on a referral mechanisms and structural support along with child sensitive management. And also we have a next step is to gather with stakeholders and services providers. We adolescents core group formulated a strategic plan as well as work of financial plan that specified the activities to be conducted and resources that would be needed to implement the prioritized interventions. And the next steps, Cria Carl will introduce this. Thank you so much. Thank you, Kat. And of course to add on what Katra said, on what's after the project. So we also have the implementation of change activities focused on 23 barangais coming from local government units located within the seven kilometer radius of the city center as our pilot areas. So in just two months, they started following what was able to accomplish. We're able to accomplish. So first, the use of social media to increase information dissemination and access to services. So using Facebook, as we all know, Facebook was chosen by the core group as a social media platform to increase information on sexual violence and access to services because of its popularity among adolescents here in Samboga city. The Facebook page I report Kabatan ZC. So you can search on it. I report Kabatan ZC was launched in September 2021 and currently the page have been have more than 800 followers. According to Facebook page analytics, there are the post reach around 145,800 people and there were around 13,900 post engagements. According also to audience analytics revealed that the most engaging posts were those featuring and reporting and the federal pathways for cases of child abuse and exploitation. Aside from that, in just two months, we also conducted advocacy activities to improve family support and address prevailing social issues. Advocacy activities included the production of distribution of information education and communication or what we call the IEC materials. And of course the conduct of session on adolescents, sexual and reproductive health and on SOGI as well or sexual orientation, gender identity and expression with the Barangay local government units, including the local youth council officials. Also the school were also included in the distribution of IEC materials. Also, and lastly, in just two months, we also conduct of refresher course and training for stakeholders and services providers. And of course the formation of multi stakeholder case conference to address issues on referral mechanism and structural support along with child sensitive case management. Here, the refresher course and training on referral mechanism and child sensitive case management were conducted for service provider who directly attend to and to manage the cases of sexual abuse and violence. The local government and youth council officials. So the multi disciplinary case conference groups were a refresher course and training. The composition of each group includes social workers, police officers, doctors and representative of the village council for the protection of children. So the formation of them of the multi disciplinary case conference groups ensured that the cases will be managed in a timely and effective manner, thereby improving access and quality of services for adolescent survivors of sexual violence. Okay, that's that's really amazing. And like the next question goes to Kate and Carl. So what's it participating in the project mean to you? How about you, Kate? The question is what did participating in the project mean to you? Well, for me is in a way of I was able to understand and appreciate the issue and needs of adolescents affected by the circumstances that they face in their daily lives. Furthermore, as adolescents, I felt the trauma of some adolescent survivor survivors of sexual violence and their need to be heard and also to break free from the experience. And this project means a lot to adolescents in helping them deal with their pain and also to recover to that trauma. That's all. Thank you. Aside from that, after aside from that, it is also to take care of our mental health. We went through counseling and the briefing after we conducted the focus group discussions with adolescents as our respondents, and we were able to process and manage our feelings about the story of our fellow adolescents. That's all. Thank you. Thank you too. Okay, so the next question goes to you Carl. What were the challenges? Thank you. So far, the challenges that we faced during the implementation of our project, the primary challenge was faced during the project was the pandemic. Since the city of Sambuanga, our city was under lockdown several times, and we had limited face-to-face interaction with the adolescents. But we were also able to use online platforms such as the Google Meet. That's all. Okay, so this is the last question that goes to you, Karen Carl. So what happened after the project? How to take it forward? Yes, what happened after the project? First, we were able to launch the iReport in ZC. It is a Facebook page that helps our fellow adolescents to reach out if they experience sexual violence. So the page is active even though the project has ended. So if there are cases reported via our Facebook page, we refer it to CFSI or Community and Family Services to assist us on how to respond. And the Facebook page is currently being managed by CFSI's social worker at the Sambuanga sub-office. Aside from that, I was also invited by my school and other different organisations to talk about what is our project and to showcase the result. It opens a lot of opportunity for me, as well to my fellow Card Group member. Okay, also, after that, we still continue to advocate for access to services by survivors of sexual violence. And we want the voice of adolescents and young people to be heard so that no one is left behind. Thank you, and that's all. Okay, so I really mark my words. You guys are really amazing young people. And I was really blown away by all what you guys said. So I really encourage you to go further with what you are doing. So now I'm going to give the floor to Amy to introduce the breakout groups. Thanks so much, Davina. And I completely echo what Davina has said, Carcat. This is such an incredible project and so amazing to see something led by adolescents. I really wish you all the best in the next parts of these projects. Super interesting. And I'm sure everyone here wants to see how you guys move on forward in the future. As Davina said, we're now going to break out into two breakout rooms. So group one is a breakout room with myself, with Fernanda and Roberta. We're going to focus on a case study that's kind of focused on the research that Fernanda was mentioning. And the second breakout room is with Joyce, Astrid, Davina, Carl and Cat. And this is going to be focused more on a case study linked to the work that Cat and Carl are doing. So my invitation to you is an understand that you can choose which breakout room you would like to go in. We're slightly short of time. So we may reduce slightly the timings for our breakout rooms. Yes, thanks so much, everyone. And unfortunately, I believe that we pushed for time. So we're going to now join back to the main room. Thank you to everyone who shared their comments to Doreen, to Jules. Really appreciate it. The Jamboard is still there, so feel free maybe in another time to continue following it. And we know that it's still an editable version. So I'm just going to wait until we have everyone back with us and we will continue into the next part of our session. Everyone is back, Amy. You can carry right on. Julie, excellent. Thank you so much. Right, welcome back. I hope the group too had a great discussion. I know that in group one it was really interesting to hear some of the thoughts and reflections of coming out from colleagues. And really thanks again to participating. I understand now we're just going to pass to a quick menti poll. I think we have a link for group one and for group two if I'm correct. So production team, I don't know if you would be able to help us kindly share those links for those who took part in group one and for those who took part in group two. It's a quick menti poll. And then we will pass to the next section. Perfect. Thank you so much, Natalie. So I understand colleagues in the chat. We have the menti poll for group one. We would invite you to please click the link and answer the following questions. And then for group two, which was child participation, we also have another link in the chat. Again, we'd invite you to open the link and share your comments. So I'm just going to give you one quick minute to fill that in and then we'll pass to our next section. Thank you so much. Perfect. So group one, what is your one key takeaway from that negotiations at breakout session? We kindly encourage you to share your comments and your thoughts. And then we'll pass quickly to the slide for group two as well to see some of the feedback that was coming out of group two. So we've got here process, education dialogues are a priority, children need to be involved. Exactly. I think child centred responses are super important context. I think Doreen now shed some of the context that she's working in really important that we think about different context. Negotiation preparedness attacks on schools and importance of understanding protection risks involving community leaders. How to engage non state on doctors intangible manners. Communities to protect themselves. Really great feedback here colleagues. So thanks for sharing. Judy, I don't know if we can pass now to group two on the screen just to see some of the feedback from group two. Thanks so much. Apologies if you're saying that. No we're seeing group two. Don't worry. So group two, your key takeaway sessions from the child participation breakout session. We've got prioritising education. Youth and Children are capable of voicing their needs very much in agreement. Social cultural barriers and policy procedures. Collaboration to become inclusive. Child participation is key. Sharing ideas and experiencing. Supporting child and adolescent participants requires a multidisciplinary approach very much in agreement. We also have putting children adolescents needs at the centre. New ideas, I think that's very true. It's important that we always innovate now that we have refreshing approaches to how we work in our fields. Youth and disabled people face various obstacles to participation. Agree. I think it's really important that we think of our inclusion and how we're including everyone regardless of their identity. Colleagues, thanks so much. I think there's so much here that we will look at and review. So I really thank you for taking part in those mentee polls. Slightly conscious of time because we will need to now move on to our closing. So I just want to pass over now to Barbara Wyerman. Barbara, welcome again to the space. Barbara is the advisor, the gender advisor in humanitarian action. So for gender based violence, a focal point for protections exploitation and prevention of these, the prevention of sexual exploitation for the Swiss Development Corporation. So Barbara, once again, welcome to the space. Just want to hand over to you to say a few words. Thank you very much, Amy. And good morning or good afternoon to all of you. I'm very happy to have participated in this event. Thank you so much to all of you, to all the panellists and participants for the inspiring and truly amazing work you shared with us. You have shown us how things change when we put young people in the lead. It is really impressive how you're able to, how these young people are able to analyse the barriers they face and how they negotiate, you know how to solve the problem. It's really, for me, it's again and again amazing to see how convincing and creative young people are in the endeavour to bring about change. When I hear about this experience, I'm wondering why this is not done more often. Why organisations have difficulties to truly and not tokenally engage with the children and youth for whom they work. The same question that we must answer related to why it is so difficult to put women led organisations and youth led organisations in charge of addressing the problems that their members face. It seems obvious and yet as donors we are struggling to do the right thing. Switzerland has made a commitment to work towards equal partnership with local organisations, especially women led organisations, through the call to action on the protection from GBV emergencies. Equal partnerships with local organisations is also a top priority of the Swiss co-chairship of the pooled funds working group. I think equal partnership is the key word for effective action. It means listen and learn together and adjust the ways we work. At SDC we are really pleased that we were able to fund the barrier analysis in the Philippines that was presented by Carl and Katra. We are sharing this excellent experience with our country offices and encourage them to take it up in their contexts. As it was mentioned just now in the feedback, child participation is key. I would like to thank the organisers of today's event for providing a platform to promote and support the innovative work of local organisations and for partnering with the initiatives of amazing young women and men. Thank you and back to you Amy. Thank you so much Barbara and really echo your thoughts now. So important that we have a very meaningful child and adolescent led participation and so great to hear from the project in the Philippines with Carl and Katra and great that we have this platform. So thanks so much for taking part Barbara. Really appreciate it and all the efforts from your side. So I'm now just going to hand over to Amanda Weyler from CEDA. She is a senior policy specialist at the Humanitarian Unit. So Amanda, over to you to share a few words. Thanks so much. Thanks very much Amy and thanks in particular to Carl and Kat and Davina for the energy and the drive that you've displayed here today and the type of work that you're doing in your communities and countries. Sometimes I feel that those of you who are a little bit older than you should just get out of the way and let you get on with your work and support you as much as we can. From CEDA part of our humanitarian strategy is to provide dignified, help partners find dignified solutions to the protection and assistance needs that they have to work in hard to reach areas and to mainstream protection as a way. That is a kind of key concept in everything that we do and the projects we've heard about today really encapsulate those goals. And I think just to tie this to the overall topic of this year's forum, I think the idea of access that protects really challenges us to think about the quality of the work that we do. And from my perspective and what I hear in these projects is that that quality is about having sustained access and reach to people affected by crisis to ensuring that people are able to participate and shaping the solutions to their problems. And in particular kids, adolescents, young people, women to find and use and amplify local solutions wherever they happen, wherever they're present and to hold aid organisations and including us as donors to account. And so my final words would just be a call to the community organisations and local organisations and the youth activists that are listening to this meeting and participating today is that we are committed to taking your feedback seriously. We are open to being held to account for the role that we play in the humanitarian architecture and we are interested in hearing from you what makes the difference in the work that you do and to do what we can to provide that. So thanks very much to everybody and to the organisers for a very interesting event. No, thanks so much to you, Amanda, and for those closing remarks and words. Well, colleagues, we've arrived at the end of this event. Many thanks for all your time, for your attention and for your contributions. First and foremost, a great thanks to Carl and Katia for your presentation. I think I echo what Amanda and Barbara are saying. I think this has been a real learning lesson for all of us in the humanitarian sector of the importance of child and adolescent led projects. And I think, as Amanda said, no, it's really us that needs to step aside and to listen and understand how we can support and facilitate all the visions that you have. Thank you to Fernanda, to Roberta also to sharing some of the context in Mali. I think we really started to understand from that space. No, the importance of context analysis, really understanding our context, engaging with a range of stakeholders and thinking about the different risks and power dynamics and relationships for each of those stakeholders. So thanks so much for sharing that, Roberta. And finally, I wanted to give a great thanks to our co-facilitator Davina. I know Davina that the connection hasn't been the best, but I think it's so great to have you here. And it was super interesting to hear around all the work that you're doing with your organization at the beginning of the presentation. So that's all from me, colleagues. I just want to pass over now to Davina for closing words. So Davina, over to you. OK, so I'm really, really sorry for that. It's really frustrating that the connection was really unstable. So I won't be able to on my camera. So as my colleague said, we are at the end of the session. So thank you for, thank you to the participants for your contributions to everyone involved in the forum and the setting up of this event. So there is one thing I want to say before I leave. Remember that if you stand for a reason, be prepared to stand alone like a tree, and if you fall on the ground, fall like a seed that grows back to fight again. Thank you everyone. May God bless you.
