Child protection (sometimes child welfare) refers to the protection of children from violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect. Article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child provides for the protection of children in and out of the home.
Child protection systems are a set of usually government-run services designed to protect children and young people who are underage and to encourage family stability. While there is no universally agreed upon definition, UNICEF defines a ‘child protection system’ as:
Encountered problems
Child labour
Due to economical reasons, especially in poor countries, children are forced to work in order to survive. Child labour often happens in difficult conditions, which are dangerous and impair the education of the future citizens and increase vulnerability to adults. It is hard to know exactly the age and number of children who work. At least 150 million children under 5 years of age worked in 2004, but the figure is underestimated because domestic labour is not counted.

Violent arguments between spouses threaten the safety of a newborn, while a 7-year-old girl is terrified of her schizophrenic mother. The Child Protective Service is seeing a four-fold increase in the number of child abuse cases it has handled in the last 9 years, and they have to step in, before it's too late.

Intro Music - "Rain" by Alicia Grace(produced by Stevey Reid)
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised. Dr Carlene Firmin MBE has spent over a decade championing the needs of young people affected by violence and abuse – attempting to reshape policies and practices intended to keep them safe. She spent three years interviewing girls and young women around England affected by gang violence – work that changes Government policy on youth violence and led to the funding of specialist services for gang-associated young women in 2011. Since then Carlene’s work has broadened to look at issues such as sexual and criminal exploitation, abuse in teenage relationships and sexual harassment in schools, and resulted in her calling for fundamental reforms to the way that child protection systems have been designed in the UK. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
