The Asia Regional Hub

The Asia Regional Hub for Child Protection represents an essential step toward uniting regional efforts, reinforcing culturally relevant practices, building regional capacity and networks, and encouraging unity towards the shared goal of ending violence against children.

Through regular collaboration, both online and in person, this initiative will foster a sustained movement that connects global child rights frameworks with local realities, working to ensure that every child’s right to protection, dignity, and a safe environment is a priority for every country.

Through continued regional collaboration countries and regions will become more self-reliant, developing sustainable and capacitated child protection workforces and systems, local funding will be strengthened, and community level prevention will be improved. ISPCAN’s ultimate goal is ending child abuse and neglect/improving quality of life for all children by working more closely with our members and regional partners.

About the Asia Regional Hub

Who We Are:

This multi-partner exchange will enable and enhance:

•Understanding of regional issues and developing relevant resources and materials while addressing culturally appropriate and language specific needs

• Engaging more deeply with partners and ISPCAN members, empowering local leaders and developing and contextualizing in-person trainings. • Developing in person regional Rise Up Policy Forums connecting governments and policy makers with researchers, practitioners and local NGOs
