A huge number of children in Afghanistan face various forms of NEVA (Neglect, Exploitation, Violence and Abuse) on daily basis. Key stakeholders and duty bearers namely the family, community members, traditional leadership structures and government both at central and local level are either unable or failing to provide a conductive and protective environment for children to develop and grow. Ongoing conflict in the country division between sectarian and ethnic lines, Natural and manmade disasters and emergencies, Poverty, Gender and other forms of discrimination, Harmful traditional practices, Lack of political well and lack of understanding about child rights and protection issues has made children extremely vulnerable, especially girls.

at Help the Afghan Children (HTAC), we refuse to let these challenges define their future. Through our Child Protection System Strengthening Program, we are building a shield around thousands of vulnerable children, ensuring they grow up in safe, nurturing communities that value their rights and dignity.
