On the occasion of World Children's Day, Algeria has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to safeguarding children and promoting their fundamental rights, highlighting significant strides in protection mechanisms and educational attainment. Dalila Aliane, Secretary-General of the National Body for the Protection and Promotion of Childhood, emphasized that child welfare remains a top national priority, directly aligned with President Abdelmadjid Tebboune's directives. The 2020 constitutional revision notably enshrined the principle of the child's best interest, harmonizing national law with the International Convention on the Rights of the Child. This constitutional bedrock guarantees essential rights, including free education, access to healthcare, and social protection. Furthermore, specific provisions address the care of children of unknown parentage, those with special needs, and high-potential children, all integrated into Algeria's robust legislative framework.<\/p>\n
Algeria's commitment is evident in its remarkable educational achievements, boasting a nearly 99% schooling rate, a figure that positions the country among the leaders in the Arab and African regions. This accomplishment underscores the nation's dedicated efforts to ensure every child's right to instruction and foster their social integration. Annually, the National Body for the Protection and Promotion of Childhood submits a comprehensive report to the President, detailing the state of childhood in Algeria, assessing progress against international conventions, and measuring the enjoyment of constitutionally guaranteed rights.<\/p>\n
Central to Algeria's protective strategy is a dual focus on prevention and support. The nation has enacted a dedicated child protection law and established a specialized institution responsible for submitting periodic reports to relevant UN bodies. On the ground, the National Body conducts regular awareness campaigns targeting families, especially those facing social difficulties, to combat various forms of rights violations, including school dropout, lack of healthcare, economic exploitation, begging, and violence. A crucial tool in this effort is the national toll-free number '1111,' which receives approximately 5,000 reports daily. This service, accessible from both landlines and mobile phones, handles not only reports of rights violations but also provides essential advice, support, and guidance to parents, children, and other community members.<\/p>\n
In response to the growing digital landscape, the National Body has proactively strengthened its internal structure with the establishment of a cybernetic monitoring unit. This unit is tasked with patrolling the digital space, identifying and combating online exploitation and threats targeting children. Operating in close coordination with the Ministries of National Defense and Interior, Local Authorities, and National Planning, the unit aims to counter cross-border cybercrime and mitigate digital risks in an era of rapid internet and social media expansion. Through these multifaceted institutional, legal, and operational mechanisms, Algeria continues to fortify its child protection policy, striving to ensure a safer, more inclusive, and rights-respecting environment for its younger generations.<\/p>\n
