PASLI explained that the process followed in revealing the abuse within the scope of the approach to child abuse progressed as a result of the complaint of the child-parent-relatives, the seeing of the traces or signs of abuse by professionals, and the notification that the child was exposed to abuse.

It was mentioned that children who were exposed to abuse should be approached holistically with a multi-disciplinary team, and that the issue should be pursued with a team approach as a whole with its health/medical, social service and forensic dimensions. The main thing is; protection of the child, supporting the child and family together, long-term follow-up and rehabilitation are mentioned. There are certain components to effectively protect the child from abuse, and that these components; underlined that it is a protective environment-awareness-reporting-intervention.
PASLI continued his speech by mentioning why the children did not tell what they had experienced. He stated that the probability of not telling the children increases because they are afraid of not being believed in this situation, they do not know how to tell, they cannot make sense of the abuse behavior, and because of the threats that the abuser has applied. Paslı continued by giving case reports in the second part of his presentation. After the case presentation, the questions of the participants were answered and the activity was completed.
