Overview

Child Protection

Children and their families are living in an environment increasingly characterized by violence, poverty, insecurity, physical destruction and the depletion of regular means of support, studies show. The results are proving devastating for children’s development, protection and psychosocial well-being.

UNICEF and its partners are working to build a protective environment for children. This entails developing a child protection policy framework that strengthens all necessary systems and services, front line workers, monitoring and evaluation systems, activities’ coordination and standards.
