Building Safe Futures: Implementation and Impact of Mongolia’s Child Protection System

Abstract

Mongolia acceded to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1990 and ratified the additional protocols on child protection. The issue of strengthening the child protection system and ensuring the quality and accessibility of care services for children at risk continues to be a global and national concern. Internationally, child rights and child protection activities are considered comprehensively, and international aid organizations cooperate to ensure child development, provide financial support, pay great attention to improving child development training and knowledge, support and assistance to children in remote areas of Mongolia, and regularly conduct research on the problems facing the implementation of the child protection system. In Mongolia, there are mechanisms and structures for resolving child rights and protection issues at the national, local and primary unit levels, and government agencies, as well as non-governmental organizations, and various projects and activities for children's rights are implemented, but there are still many cases of child rights violations and child protection exclusion in the family, school, kindergarten, social and online environments. The purpose of this study is to study the policy, system and implementation of child protection in Mongolia.
