East Asia and the Pacific

Professor Hamilton is currently conducting a mapping and analysis of national legislation related to violence against children in each of the ten ASEAN Member States.  This mapping and analysis will facilitate a detailed comparison across the ten ASEAN Member States, allowing the team to highlight common issues, concerns, or successes.

 

 

The Centre, in partnership with the NGO Child Frontiers, piloted a pioneer capacity building programme for UNICEF Child Protection Officers in the East Asia and Pacific Region (EAPRO).  The programme focussed on a systems building approach to child protection programming.  It built participants' knowledge of the various systems that impact on child protection- the Legal and Regulatory System, the Social Welfare System and the Social Behavioural Change System and provided tools for participants to use this approach in their daily work.  The programme was delivered over the course of two workshops in September 2009 and January 2010 and through an e-learning course.
