2 We observe that: If violence against children persists the future development of our children will be impacted There are peculiarity and differences in our beliefs, practices and culture Certain areas that need attention to end VAC are challenging in some states and amongst some communities, e.g. ending child marriages, adopting the Child Rights Act, etc. It is important to promote corrective measures that do not constitute violence against children It is important to first consider the African context and then religious recommendations. We agreed: That the family is a natural gift and children are precious gifts to families. Parents are custodians of the precious gifts That the family constitutes the father, mother and children That Religious and should denounce and rebuke VAC We uphold that responsibilities of parents to their children should be strictly adhered to, Any violation of their roles and responsibilities is regarded as violence Positive disciplinary action is not considered as Violence is the bodily harm in terms of its emotional, physical and sexual forms. Let us discourage any actions that provokes children and vice versa We call to action: All States to adopt the Violence against Persons Prohibition Act (2015). Support the remaining States that have not domesticated the Child Rights Act to make it part of their State laws. To assist families alleviate poverty and improve on social protection. Agencies at all levels (International, Federal and State) should support this cause through capacity building of religious and traditional actors in their efforts to end violence against children. We have collectively decided to establish an operational work plan that sets forth specific actions to implement these commitments during The Year of Action to End Violence against Children in Nigeria.
