Child Welfare Movement

The Child Welfare Movement is a social effort that began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, aiming to improve the well-being of children in society. It focuses on protecting children from abuse, neglect, and exploitation, ensuring they have access to education and basic needs. This movement led to the establishment of child protection agencies, reforms in child labor laws, and initiatives to support families. Today, it also addresses issues like poverty, mental health, and the impact of social policies on children, striving to create a safer, healthier environment for all youth.
