UNICEF's Safe Spots for Children in Slovenia

Slovenia has more than 450 UNICEF's safe spots for children in 26 cities and towns across the country. There children can seek refuge and receive help. In Ljubljana alone children can turn to 120 safe spots, including at the National Assembly and the European Commission Representation to Slovenia. Safe places are organised in different facilities from pharmacies, florists' shops to libraries and stores. This allows children to seek help anonymously. 54 cases of serious maltreatment of children were recorded last year.
