Baseline Study on the Knowledge, Attitudes, Beliefs, Social Norms & Practices Related to Child Protection in Pakistan

About

This study is one of the few studies within the sphere of child protection in Pakistan that collects insights from both adults and children, and seeks to document baseline knowledge, attitudes, and practices about children’s protection in Pakistan. It focuses on violent discipline, child labour, and child marriage, and it considers these behaviours through the lens of psychological, sociological, and environmental determinants. It also includes birth registration because this provides children with a verifiable legal identity, is often a prerequisite for accessing various social services across the country, and is the passport to protection for children.
