Child Protection

Background

The Child Protection and Welfare Bureau (CPWB) was strengthened to safeguard vulnerable children from abuse, trafficking, and exploitation.

Current Situation

Expanding on this commitment, CM Maryam Nawaz Sharif launched the Virtual Center for Child Safety (VCCS) (2024), enhancing child protection with real-time reporting via helplines, mobile apps, and digital platforms. In its early phase, it received 1,700+ complaints, leading to 415 FIRs.
