La Convention Internationale relative aux droits de l'enfant (CDE) est le socle juridique
international qui garantit à chaque enfant le droit d'être protégé contre toutes les formes de violence, de maltraitance, de négligence et d'exploitation. Pour atteindre les cibles des ODD en matière de protection de l'enfant et garantir que « personne ne soit laissé de côté », les résultats de l’impact 3 et 4 du Plan stratégique de l'UNICEF 2026-2029 visent « 100 millions d’enfants en moins dans la pauvreté multidimensionnelle » et « 350 millions d’enfants protégés contre la
violence » d’ici 2029. Conformément à la CDE, les pays ont l’obligation de prendre des mesures pour garantir que les enfants soient protégés et pris en charge par un personnel qualifié. Le corps de travail des services
sociaux joue un rôle central dans le soutien aux enfants et à leurs familles. Cet effectif est composé

objectif commun : protéger, soutenir, promouvoir et autonomiser les personnes vulnérables.

enfants et les familles, et le soutien ainsi que les services qu'ils proposent peuvent littéralement transformer des vies. Des professionnels qualifiés en travail social sont essentiels pour coordonner les efforts et les ressources ainsi que pour garantir des réponses adaptées aux besoins des plus vulnérables.
Investir dans ces professionnels garantit un retour sur investissement élevé pour la protection de l'enfant. À l'inverse, le manque d'investissement dans les effectifs des services sociaux compromettra tous les autres efforts visant à renforcer durablement le système de protection de l'enfant.
