Summary
UNICEF monitors and reports on a number of key child protection indicators including:
- Birth registration: the official recording of a child’s birth.
- Child labour: the types of work a child performs, whether paid or unpaid, and hours spent, along with the hazards children face at work.
- Child marriage: marriage or cohabitation before the age of 18.
- Female genital mutilation: the partial or total removal of external female genitalia for non-medical reasons.
- Violence against children: including emotional and physical abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, sexual exploitation and abuse, and use of violent discipline.
Work in these areas of child protection is carried out through data collection, methodological work, data compilation, data analysis and data dissemination.
