The North America Regional Hub
The North America 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.
