Key takeaway Child protection is a right enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child and underpins progress across the Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG 5.
Why this matters
The Global Annual Results Report 2025 highlights significant progress in protecting children from violence, exploitation, and abuse, with nearly 61 million children enabled to be birth registered and over 18 million parents and caregivers reached through parenting programmes. These efforts are crucial in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 5.3, 8.7, and 16.2, which focus on eliminating harmful practices, ending child labour, and ending abuse and exploitation against children. The report's findings also underscore the importance of community-based initiatives, such as the provision of safe reporting channels for sexual exploitation and abuse, which have reached 74 million people. As faith-based organizations and Christian charities continue to play a vital role in supporting vulnerable children, the report's results can inform their strategies and partnerships, ultimately contributing to a more comprehensive and effective response to the complex needs of children worldwide.
