The Maldives Child Protection Database (MCPD) was launched by Vice President Dr Mohamed Waheed at a special function on Thursday morning.
Established with assistance from UNICEF and the UN Children’s Fund in collaboration with the Maldives Police Service, Ministry of Health and Family, Ministry of Education and the Juvenile Justice Unit, the national database is designed to record details of reporting and followup on cases of child abuse, delinquency and gender based violence.
In his remarks, Dr Waheed said that the database would make accurate information on the incidence of child abuse and neglect more readily available, enabling better coordination among concerned agencies to expedite investigations.
