Child Protection in Bangladesh

In Bangladesh, child protection is integrated into social servcies and community development programs that are mainly offered by non-governmental agencies. "Shako" will present different child welfare agencies who are diligently working for children's right and protection, and providing services to this disadvantaged population. Apart from limited government social welfare agencies' involvement, extended family members mostly take care of children when they are vulnerable or need care. There is no foster care services present in the country. Children are protected by families from abuse where family values are still strong and dominant. Usually, family members come forward to care for their loved ones irrespective of their socio-economic status. Therefore, we need to look at socio-economic structures, institutions and values that ensure and promote children's well-being and safety in the Bangladesh setting.
