About

The Child Protection Hotline is a 24 hour hotline available for the reporting of child abuse and neglect. It is okay to “tell on” them if they have hurt you. Tell us, we are listening.

EVERY CHILD HAS THE RIGHT TO LIVE FREE FROM VIOLENCE, EXPLOITATION AND ABUSE.

Children worldwide suffer insidious forms of violence, exploitation and abuse. Violence against children knows no boundaries. It happens in every country, and in places where children should be most protected – their homes, schools and online. It can be physical, emotional or sexual. And in most cases, children experience violence at the hands of the people they trust.

No matter their story or circumstance, all children have the right to be protected from violence, exploitation and abuse. Child protection systems help children access vital social services and fair justice systems – starting at birth. They reach out to the most vulnerable children, including those with disabilities; girls and boys who have been placed in alternative care; children uprooted by conflict, poverty and disaster; or those who may become victims of child labour or trafficking, or recruited into armed groups. Child protection systems prioritize children’s physical, mental, and psychosocial needs to safeguard their lives and futures.
