\u201cProtecting children from all forms of violence is not only a matter addressed by the Sustainable Development Goals. It is a cross-cutting issue that affects all the Goals, as poverty, discrimination, health and living conditions are interconnected and can increase children\u2019s vulnerability to violence,\u201d <\/em>Najat Maalla M\u2019jid<\/strong> emphasised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lecture was followed by a Q&A session, during which students discussed international approaches to addressing social challenges and current issues related to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. Najat Maalla M\u2019jid<\/strong> answered students\u2019 questions and shared her professional experience. Participants also had the opportunity to explore MNU\u2019s modern campus facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is worth noting that the UN Secretary-General\u2019s Special Representative arrived in Astana on a working visit. Earlier, she participated in the Second International Forum of Ombudspersons for Children of Central Asian Countries, met with the Vice President and heads of several ministries, and visited a number of educational institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
