Child Protection

Child protection refers to the measures and policies designed to safeguard children from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence. It encompasses legal frameworks, social services, and community support aimed at ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for children. Child protection seeks to prevent harm and intervene when a child’s welfare is at risk, prioritizing their rights and well-being. It is a vital aspect of child welfare systems, promoting the idea that all children should have the opportunity to grow up healthy and safe, free from conditions that could lead to physical, emotional, or psychological harm. Various stakeholders, including governments, non-profit organizations, and communities, play a role in implementing child protection strategies.
