Child protection
All children have the right to a life free from violence, exploitation, and abuse. Child protection is about protecting children from these very things by preventing child labor, child marriage, violence against children, female circumcision, gender-based violence, family separation, and sexual exploitation. Violence against children can take many forms – physical, emotional, and sexual – and children must be protected from all forms.
CHALLENGES
100% for the Children aims to strengthen family and community systems to safeguard children’s rights and wellbeing, and to develop effective child protection mechanisms.
In 100% for the Children, child protection is a pervasive theme that affects all our projects. We actively work with child projection through projects that seek to strengthen vulnerable families to prevent separation, protect street children, and generally put children’s rights on the agenda to strengthen child protection systems and structures in the countries we work in. 100% for the Children is a co-founder of the Danish child protection network, which i.a. has published ’Promising practices in child protection’.
