Recent reports highlight significant failures in child protection services, particularly concerning Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings (GISBH), where 402 children have reportedly been abused in welfare homes. Advocates stress the need for improved monitoring and enforcement of child protection policies, questioning the effectiveness of the Welfare Department in addressing these issues. Meanwhile, a report reveals that perceptions of children's welfare vary greatly across nations, with Gulf states like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait rated highly for treating children with respect and dignity. In contrast, Iraq faces dire challenges in children's education and welfare amid ongoing conflict. Additionally, the Amanzimtoti Child and Family Welfare Society continues to provide essential support services while facing financial challenges, underscoring the need for community contributions. Lastly, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy emphasizes the critical need for support systems for parents, who experience higher stress levels than other adults, which directly impacts child development.
