On the eve of Children's Day - June 1, the National Network for Children held a protest march with a starting point - the Courthouse in Sofia against violence against children. 


The march under the slogan "Let's protect our children. Let's unite!" is in response to the alarming statistics for 2024: over 2,900 children, victims of crimes; dozens of children, killed or injured in road accidents; 79,000 signals for illegal child pornographic content hosted in Bulgaria, BGNES reported.


The protesters expressed their intolerance towards violence and institutional inaction. The protest demands effective action by the court, the prosecutor's office, the police, social services and the education system.
