Every year, thousands of children are taken and placed illegally on the international adoption market.
The latest #IPU resolution, Orphanage #trafficking: The role of #parliaments in reducing harm, offers #MPS guidance on addressing this issue.

Failing to strengthen the #socialserviceworkforce limits the effectiveness of programs and leaves costly social problems unresolved. A well-planned, developed, and supported workforce has lasting benefits for society and must be prioritized politically and financially. #SSWWeek.

1B+ children are being left behind.
Without social protection, they don't have access to basic rights & needs.
It's time Govts make social protection universal for every child.
