Child welfare protects children from harm and abuse, including neglect, exploitation, and violence. It is a multifaceted concept that includes physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being. Child welfare worldwide strives to ensure that all children have access to safe and healthy environments in which they can thrive. This includes providing access to basic needs such as food, shelter, education, health care, protection from violence and exploitation, and a supportive family environment.
Governments worldwide have adopted various policies and programs to support child welfare efforts to ensure that all children have access to these necessities.
