Draft Law on Barnahus in Slovenia:

Taking stock of the results of the public consultation process

Join the webinar to discuss results and key recommendations of the public consultation process of the draft law on Barnahus in Slovenia. Barnahus is a leading European model for a child-friendly multidisciplinary and interagency response to child sexual abuse.
