November 2023 Community Action Ideas

Nov. 19 is World Day for the Prevention of Child Abuse. Millions of children experience abuse or violence each year, and that has serious consequences for their health and well-being.


Optimist Clubs can partner with community groups, schools and advocacy groups to raise public awareness about child abuse, as well as post project photos, videos and callouts to social media using the hashtags #WorldDayforthePreventionofChildAbuse and #StopChildAbuse.
