About this project
HRPF advocates for child protection and responsive public institutions. Its documented work includes engagement over a reported child-protection incident and a separate public statement calling for fair treatment and juvenile-justice safeguards for a child from a minority community. These are distinct interventions within the Foundation’s child-rights work.
The challenge
Children and families affected by violence or contested legal proceedings need protection, fair treatment and responsive institutions.
Our approach
HRPF raised the concern with relevant institutions and followed the case while advocating for stronger protection of children.
