Child Protection: Children's Rights in Theory and Practice

Across the world, children are at risk from violence, abuse, exploitation, and neglect. Conflict and natural disasters have forced millions to flee their homes and confront the dangers of migration and displacement. Commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking, child labor, and child marriage are problems in many countries. At-risk children and adolescents need their rights enforced if we are to protect them from harm and to ensure that they develop to their full potential!

In this course, learn how to protect children from violence, exploitation, and neglect through law, policy, and practice in a human rights framework.
