Child Protection means the protection of children from violence, abuse, neglect, exploitation and discrimination. It involves birth registration, child abuse, sexual exploitation of children, trafficking and sale of children,harmful traditional practices, violence and neglect, alternative care, justice for children and child labour.
Research, monitoring and evaluation on child protection issues in Botswana is inadequate. This lack of data impacts negatively on the ability of the Government and civil society organisations to meet their obligations, under the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the child to design and implement programmes towards the realisation of children's rights to protection and development. Currently prevention, mitigation and respeonse programmes and initiatives are most often implemented on a small scale and with uncoordinated efforts.
We will talk about child protection in more deatil later...
