Child Protection

Child protection is the set of measures and activities that are aimed at protecting children from harm and promoting their welfare. Child protection is a global concern, and it encompasses a wide range of issues, including child abuse, child labor, child trafficking, and other forms of violence and exploitation against children. Child protection involves efforts to prevent harm to children, as well as to respond to and address harm when it occurs. This can include measures such as implementing laws and policies to protect children, providing services to support and assist children and their families, and educating children and adults about the importance of protecting children. Governments and organizations around the world are working to promote child protection and protect the rights of children.
