This video examines the challenges and potential solutions for supporting children at risk in Iran. While the 2020 Law on the Protection of Children and Adolescents provides a valuable legal framework, significant shortcomings remain in its implementation—particularly in areas such as education, child abuse response, and addressing neglect.
At-risk children include those facing issues like cross-border child labor (koolbari), waste picking, economic and sexual exploitation, and physical and psychological harm in family, school, or community environments. Additional factors—such as poverty, early marriage, and childhood divorce—further complicate their vulnerability.
The video emphasizes the urgent need for coordinated efforts among institutions such as the Ministry of Education, the Welfare Organization, and the Judiciary to build effective protection mechanisms. It also underscores the importance of preventing harm and creating conditions that allow children to grow and thrive as the future of society.
In closing, the video highlights the need to uphold children’s dignity and invites viewers to share suggestions for improving the system, while encouraging the use of available resources to raise awareness and foster collaboration.
