ETHIOPIA: Child Protection in the Somali Region of Ethiopia

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: An examination of the attitudes, behaviour and practices towards child protection in the Somali Region of Ethiopia.

Every child has the right to be protected from violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation as stated in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

However violations of this right take place in every society and are often related to poverty, social values, norms and traditions.

This report aims to identify the child protection situation in the Somali Region of Ethiopia with particular focus on the education system in order to inform possible future projects in schools and communities

The document has been produced as part of the BRIDGES pilot project, implemented by Save the Children UK, Mercy Corps, and Islamic Relief in the Somali Region of Ethiopia.
