Besides the funding, the agreement highlights the importance of raising awareness, training and advice for people and institutions close to children, along with families and professionals working with children and teenagers. At the same time, the idea is to strengthen identification, advice and referrals where necessary to psychological treatment for people sexually attracted to children or teenagers, to prevent any type of sexual violence towards children.

The initiative comes in addition to other projects working to prevent violence towards children and teenagers. These include the Childhood Plan 2021-2030, to combat gender violence among the youngest population and establish detection and action programmes for cases of children and teenagers who suffer violence, abuse or mistreatment.
