Session Objectives

• To provide an overview of how child protection priorities are captured by global goals in the post‐2015 development agenda

• To provide examples of how equity profiles can contribute to improved knowledge around child protection themes and to identify indicators and data sources to build equity profiles related to those themes

How was child protection addressed in the Millennium Development Goals?

• Child protection issues were not explicit in any of the  Millennium Development Goals

• Although countries have made progress towards many of the Goals, such as reducing child and infant mortality, addressing nutrition and increasing access to quality education, these same countries still struggle to protect children from violence, exploitation and abuse

New measurement of child disability for 2015/2016

• The Washington Group on Disability Statistics (WG) with UNICEF have developed a module on child functioning and disability for use in surveys and censuses to be used from late 2015

• The module covers children between 2 and 17 years of age, and  assesses activity limitations in the domains of speech and language, hearing, vision, learning, mobility and motor skills, and emotions. 

• A new survey module to measure the school environment and children’s   participation in education has also been developed. The module will measure the barriers and facilitators to education by children with/without disabilities.

IndicatorsMarriage before age 15 

Marriage before age 18

Number of women age 20‐49 years who were first married or in union before age 18

Caution ‐ We only know where women are now and not where they came from!Trend analysis sometimes provides evidence of marriage underreporting of young women.
