Abstract
Save the Children’s Regional Situational Analysis of child protection in the Pacific was carried out in 2023 in five countries: Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Fiji.
The aim of the research was to better understand the nature and prevalence of violence against children in the region, how the drivers of violence and risk and protective factors have changed since before the COVID-19 outbreak, and in response, what changes are needed to child protection systems to keep children safe from harm. Children are at the forefront of this research, with their personal experiences of violence in their home, school, community, and online a major contribution to the analysis, along with child protection stakeholders, caregivers and adolescents. Equally, children must also be at the forefront of shaping the solutions required to better protect them from violence that has detrimental impact on their development and growth, and their sense of safety and protection in the world.
