In Geneva, schools serve as a central hub for child abuse prevention.

In the canton of Geneva, Switzerland, public health services for children and adolescents have established a school-based program to address child abuse. The systematic implementation of sex education classes helps foster discussion, and the program relies on the active involvement of school doctors and nurses, who are relieved of their traditional duties. Rather than relying on systematic screening and reporting—which can lead to abuse—this program prioritizes the promotion of overall health and the rights of the child.
