Child Protection

Every adult bears the responsibility of protecting children from harm. UNICEF Pacific helps create a protective environment for children, where children are safe and protected from violence, abuse and expolitation in their homes, schools and their communities.  The Child Protection programme carries out a range of activities and services that prevent and create  systems to respond to violence, exploitation and abuse of children and ensure justice and ensure justice for all children. The child protection programme works closely in partnership with government stakeholders as well as other bilateral and multilateral agencies to fully integrate children’s protection in the national development agenda of Pacific Island countries. 

The programmes focus is on:

• Making families and communities as the “First Line of Defence” for children’s protection.
• Improving social services, care and protection of children.
• Strengthening legal frameworks for the protection of children

Outcomes are:

• Children grow up in a home and community environments that are increasingly free from violence, abuse and expolitation in selected geographical areas.
• Children  are better protected against violence, abuse and expolitation through well informed and coordinated child protection social services that also effectively assist children and their families who are survivors of violence and abuse.
• Children are better protected as victims, offenders and witnesses of crimes by strong legislation.
