Child Protection & Participation Programme
A world empowers children to thrive and lead
"By preventing violence, ensuring safety, amplifying children's voices and fostering inclusive spaces, we create empowering environments for children to thrive and shape their future."
At World Vision International Myanmar, the safety and well-being of children are at the heart of our mission. Since 2004, our Child Protection Department has been working to protect children from abuse, exploitation, and violence, with a focus on the most vulnerable—those affected by conflict, child labor, human trafficking, child marriage, and street life. We also work to protect and empower girls, women, and people with disabilities (PWDs).
We believe that children’s voices are vital in shaping the decisions that affect their lives. We actively promote child participation, empowering children and youth to engage meaningfully in advocacy and decision-making processes. By providing safe platforms for children to share their views, we ensure that their perspectives are heard in local, national, and international policy discussions.

Our approaches to change
IMPACT+
