Dear Sid,
Dr.Jiao is quite busy doing surgery for children recently as there are so many kids in need of help, so it was really nice of him to take a few minutes to answer my questions.
1. How China is organised at the national and provincial level to work on child protection issues and what problems do they emphasise?
According to Dr.Jiao, under the centralised leadership of the national government, China's Women's Federation, the Youth League, State Council and other departments are all working on child protection issues and they are all sponsored by the government.
At the national level, the emphasise on homeless and floating children as well as the trafficking.
At provincial levels, each agencies work according to their own mission or the arrangements of the government. Those agencies need to raise funding by themselves. Their emphasis varies from their mission. Generally, they work on trafficking, floating, homeless, left-behind children.There are agencies focus on both the rural and urban areas. Xi'an Philanthropic Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Center is the only organisation in China who works on child abuse and neglect.
2, What does Dr.Jiao suggest we look at in doing a book on global child protection?
Dr.Jiaosuggests that our book could take more look on China as there has are increasingly organisations( both governmental and non-governmental) and programs who have done a lot on child protection issues in recently years. Also, as a country with the largest population in the world, China is worth the attention and efforts.
Dr.Jiao, you are welcome to correct me if there is anything inaccurate. Again, thank you for your support to me as a beginner who is eager to learn.
With Admiration and Appreciation
Take care and Merry Christmas!
Selia
