Child Protection

Children all over the world become the victims of various types of violence, exploitation, and abuse from time to time. 

There are no limits to the violence perpetrated against children. It occurs in every country, and it occurs in the places where children should be the most protected: their homes, schools, and online. Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse are all possibilities. Furthermore, in most cases, children are subjected to violence by someone they trust. Being a child victim of abuse has long-term consequences for education, health, and well-being. Violent exposure can result in educational underachievement due to cognitive, emotional, and social issues.

Children who are violated or abused are more likely to smoke, abuse alcohol and drugs, and participate in high-risk sexual behavior later in life, making them more susceptible to various disorders. Depression, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and HIV are among them. 

Regardless of their background or circumstances, all children have the right to be protected against violence, exploitation, and abuse. Starting at birth, child protection systems assist children in gaining access to critical social services and fair justice systems. To protect children's lives and futures, child protection programs prioritize their physical, mental, and psychosocial needs.
