In this Canversation, Jawhara will be talking about Child Protection in the context of Intercultural Communication or Cultural Relativism. She will be reflecting on the importance of developing our sensitivities about how to explore and balance different perspectives surrounding our understanding of abuse, and our obligation to keep students safe.
