What do you think about when you hear "child protection"? what informs your understanding of the term? Note down what you associate with the term "child protection" and where you think these associations from.
When I heard the "child protection" I think about “prevention and response” . Child Protection in Humanitarian Action as prevention and response to abuse, exploitation, neglect and violence against children, which means ensuring that violence, exploitation, and abuse don't happen. When they do, it means taking action. Undoing the harm that has been done, and getting children back to safety.
Prevention is defined on two levels. One level is the primary prevention, The other type is secondary prevention, which links to normally a response to immediate needs.
what's your worldview of child protection?
child protection cover all kinds of humanitarian crises: armed conflict, natural disasters including earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tsunamis amongst others, and situation of displacement within and across border.
Child protection is one of the humanitarian sectors that tries to contribute to that broader objective of child wellbeing and healthy development of children. It encompasses many different aspects of a child's life; dignity, participation in decision making for themselves, education, health, nutrition. All of those together will form a child that develops in a healthy way, both physically, emotionally and from psychosocial perspective and can become a member of society that can make decisions for themselves and participate meaningfully in the society and the community.
Children are particularly vulnerable in humanitarian crises, which present grave risk to children's physical health and psychological well-being.The impacts of crises are not only felt immediately by children but can have long lasting effects over the course of their lifetime and into the next generation.
