Child Protection Network
The Child Protection Network Foundation or CPN is a non-government organization with expertise on the prevention and treatment of child abuse. CPN’s work centers on increasing the accessibility of services for abused children in the Philippines. It plays a crucial role in the establishment of Women and Children Protection Units (WCPUs) in DOH-retained and LGU-assisted/supported hospitals and training of competent multidisciplinary teams. A WCPU is synonymous to a “safe haven”, a place where an abused child comes not only to seek medical intervention but also to receive other services that facilitate recovery from trauma and stigmatization. A safe haven for abused children can be achieved with a combination of competent, compassionate, non-threatening medical and psychosocial staff and a welcoming, safe, and child-friendly space. All WCPUs follow a common protocol and standards on the management of abuse cases to avoid retraumatization. The WCPUs implement best practices sharing, round table discussions, and peer reviews on a regular basis. With the support from different organizations, establishing at least one (1) Women and Children Protection Unit (WCPU) in all provinces of the country can be attained.

It was October 1977 when David Bradley stepped out of the Manila International Airport for the first time and saw the hotchpotch of street vendors, well-wishing relatives and taxi and jeepney drivers. He instantly fell in love. “I’d never seen anything so foreign!”
