The Conference had an international and Kenya-based organizing committees, as well as, a scientific committee comprising of professionals from different parts of the world. ANPPCAN and ISPCAN express great gratitude to all for their efforts and contributions. To the delegates, both the youth and adults, presenters from Kenya, Africa, America, Asia, Europe and those who travelled from other parts of the world and the volunteers who offered valuable support to the Conference, please accept our gratitude for your contributions and dedication. To all the special guests of the Conference, whose sincere commitment and presence contributed to the success reflected in this report, we extend our humble acknowledgements. Special thanks go to all the speakers and presenters in plenary sessions, workshops and seminars and the delegates, some whom supported themselves to the Conference. You all demonstrated that armed conflict and terrorism is indeed an area that should be addressed with the seriousness it deserves, based on the great insights and experiences you shared at the Conference. To all, we are most grateful. Special thanks also go the ISPCAN and ANPPCAN staff for the team spirit that resulted in the success of this Conference. Also, appreciation goes to Michelle Midigo, ANPPCAN, for her significant role in the production of this Conference report. Finally, to the Youth from Mukuru, Nairobi, who demonstrated through drama, how armed conflict and terrorism result to violence that affect youth, children and even adults. The drama you staged touched everyone as you spoke loudly for the majority of youth and children who are caught up in conflicts and terrorism situations. It is our hope that the recommendations emerging from this Conference will help Governments, Civil Society Organisations and other stakeholders, to effectively address violent conflicts and their impact on children and youth.

Yet, first impressions are that child abuse, neglect, and exploitation have been viewed differently in developing countries compared to industrialized nations with an emphasis on abuses that occur outside the home. This can in part be explained by the perceptions of the professionals who have led the recognition of abuse, the influence of leading international organizations, and by the overwhelming effects of poverty and HIV/AIDS found in many regions of the world. Plenty of evidence does exist of child abuse and neglect within families in the developing world, and, as Kempe observed, the risk of such maltreatment increases when families are disrupted by urban migration or forced displacement. In this chapter, the authors reflect on some cross-cultural dimensions of abuse using their experiences of child protection in Kenya and the UK.
