Save the Children is implementing child protection programmes in Sierra Leone to address violence, abuse, exploitation, and neglect affecting children, which are often linked to poverty, harmful social norms, and weak protection systems.

These interventions aim to strengthen child protection systems, raise community awareness, and promote positive parenting and safe environments for children. Through this work, Save the Children ensures that children, especially the most vulnerable, are protected, feel safe, and are able to grow and thrive free from harm.
