Subtitle: Caring for young children during COVID-19 (Part 2).

Many governments around the world are debating or have initiated the second round of restrictions to combat the coronavirus. Back in May 2020 we spoke to early childhood expert Joan Lombardi, director of Early Opportunities. She told the Protected! host, Hani Mansourian, what she thought governments should be doing to support child protection professionals during the Covid-19 crisis. Five months on, do child protection professionals have what they need to support and protect children as the coronavirus makes a comeback?

Take a look at the Alliance’s guidance on social protection policies and how these policies can be used to protect and support children.

The pandemic is difficult for children living and working on the street. How can you obey a stay-at-home order when home is not an option? How do you stick to basic hygiene precautions like regular hand washing, if there’s no water on tap? CWIN has been supporting children and advocating for their rights in Nepal for over 30 years. They continued to support these children during the lockdown and Pramila Manandhar, CWIN’s media officer, shared her experiences with Hani Mansourian.

Take a look at the channels that CWIN runs on Youtube as part of their education and outreach work:

More children than ever called the CWIN child helpline 10-9-8 when lockdown measures begin in Nepal. The helpline team at the country’s oldest child rights organisation was on the streets supporting children daily, even as movement restrictions barred all but essential workers from operating. Sumnima Tuladhar, a founding member and executive director of CWIN, tells Hani Mansourian from the Alliance how the calls to the helpline changed when the COVID-19 pandemic reached Nepal. They discuss the processes drawn up to allow the helpline team to continue supporting children in dangerous situations. Plus Sumnima Tudladhar also talks about how the team kept themselves safe and the psycho-social support everybody in the organisation receives.

We asked one of the guests on the Protected! podcast, what drew them to the field of child protection. Stephen Blight from Unicef reflected on a memory from the 1990s, when he saw children being turned into fighters. Do you still remember the reasons you started working in child protection and what keeps you going?
