Every day millions of children in developing countries face
adversities of many kinds, yet there is a shortage of sound
evidence concerning their plight and an urgent need to identify the
most appropriate and effective policy responses from among the
multiple approaches that exist. This collection of journal papers
aims to engage with researchers and debates in the field so as to
understand better some of the numerous risks confronted by children
in developing countries. It highlights the complexity of protecting
children in various forms of adversity, challenges conventional
wisdom about what protects children, demonstrates why it is
essential to consult with children to protect them successfully,
and suggests that successful protection must be based on strong
empirical understanding of the situation and the perspectives of
children and communities involved. The contributors are all
experienced researchers and practitioners who have worked for many
years with children in developing countries. The book offers
suggestions for reform of current child protection policies, based
on empirical findings around a range of child protection concerns,
including children's work, independent migration, family
separation, early marriage, and military occupation. Together, the
contributions provide a body of knowledge important to humanitarian
and development policy and practice. This book was published as a
special issue of Development in Practice.
