Lodhran Pilot Project creates an enabling environment for the children through collective advocacy on child rights. Under different initiatives, LPP’s objective is to deal exploitative and abusive situation of children. LPP believes that there is an urgent need to start a child rights movement in the country to tackle the widespread violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of children. It is important to note that countries where comparative progress has been made to address children’s issues have done it through strong civil society advocacy monitoring and by working collectively towards a common goal.
Only 31% of children under five are registered at birth nationally.
Child Protection program is supporting the Government of Pakistan to strengthen the realization of the right of the child to protection from all forms of violence and exploitation. At Lodhran Pilot Project, addressing gaps in the enabling environment are a priority, including the fundamental absence of a child protection case management and referral mechanism. Additionally, gaps are addressed primarily related to social norms, quality of service delivery. A focus is placed on the most disadvantaged and excluded children, including girls.
