Abstract EN
In September 2000, world leaders gathered in the millennium summit to resolve the global issue is extreme poverty that affects the most vulnerablegroups “children”.
This summit ended with the adoption of the common document “the millennium declaration”, which contains a statement of values, principles, and objectives for the international 21 Century Agenda.
This declaration translated into eight global goals known as “the Millennium Development Goals”.
These eight goals are so linked to children and the first six goals contain targets and indicators turn around the main child protection issues; poverty, education, and health care.
Fifteen years later, there were severalachievements in all the MDGs and child goals, in which many countries and succeeded to decrease underweight children, provide primary education and health care.
Besides these achievements, there were various challenges that hinder the accomplishment of all the targets; mostly the big gap between the poor and the rich children and climate change.
Thus, world countries are required to work together in order to cope with these challenges by expanding the millennium development goals to the post-2015 universal sustainable development goals in which child protection is at the center of these goals.
