Child Protection

Child protection refers to a set of practices and policies aimed at safeguarding children from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and harm. It encompasses efforts to ensure children’s rights and welfare are prioritized, promoting their physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Child protection involves various measures, including legal frameworks, social services, and community initiatives, to identify at-risk children and provide the necessary support and intervention. The term encompasses a broad range of issues, including but not limited to domestic violence, child labor, trafficking, and neglect. Child protection aims to create safe environments where children can thrive and developmentally grow, free from fear and harm. The approach often includes collaboration among government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and communities to effectively address the complexities surrounding child welfare.
