This article explores the co-design process employed by Terre des Hommes Netherlands (TdH NL) in developing three thematic programmes to address child exploitation for its Listen Up! Strategy (2023–2030). It highlights the integration of diverse knowledge sources, including insights from existing research, children, staff, local partners, and experts, to create effective thematic programmes targeting sexual exploitation, child labour, and exploitation in humanitarian settings. This process begins with a situational analysis, reviewing the literature to establish a global understanding of child exploitation, its prevalence, and effective interventions. After this stage, co-creation sessions were held with 138 children across 12 countries. In these sessions, children engaged with word cloud exercises, storytelling, problem tree analysis, and intervention evaluation. These exercises were also used on co-creation sessions with 166 staff and partners in 14 countries, adding on a stakeholder and power analysis. The culmination of the information gathered was an integration workshop where draft Theories of Change were developed. The paper demonstrates how participatory methods were used to gather insights and shape interventions. This process emphasizes the value of combining academic research with the lived experiences of those directly affected by exploitation, revealing key factors that are often overlooked in conventional research. By documenting and sharing this process, TdH NL provides a framework for future initiatives, ensuring that thematic programs are relevant, comprehensive, and rooted in the realities of affected communities. The article underscores the importance of ongoing collaboration with all stakeholders to develop context-specific strategies for preventing and responding to child exploitation.

本文探讨了Terre des Hommes Netherlands （TdH NL）在为其“Listen Up!”开发三个主题方案时采用的共同设计过程，以解决儿童剥削问题。战略(2023 - 2030)。它强调整合各种知识来源，包括来自现有研究、儿童、工作人员、当地合作伙伴和专家的见解，以创建针对人道主义环境中的性剥削、童工和剥削的有效专题规划。这个过程从情境分析开始，回顾文献，建立对儿童剥削的全球理解，其流行程度，以及有效的干预措施。在这一阶段之后，与来自12个国家的138名儿童举行了共同创作会议。在这些课程中，孩子们参与了单词云练习、讲故事、问题树分析和干预评估。这些练习还用于与14个国家的166名员工和合作伙伴的共同创造会议，并增加了利益相关者和权力分析。收集到的信息的高潮是一个整合研讨会，在那里制定了变革理论草案。本文演示了如何使用参与式方法来收集见解和形成干预措施。这一过程强调了将学术研究与直接受剥削者的生活经验相结合的价值，揭示了传统研究中经常被忽视的关键因素。通过记录和分享这一过程，TdH NL为未来的举措提供了一个框架，确保专题项目具有相关性、全面性，并植根于受影响社区的现实。这篇文章强调了与所有利益攸关方持续合作，制定针对具体情况的预防和应对儿童剥削战略的重要性。

Children around the world are being separated from parents and placed in alternative care. It is believed that for thousands of children, this separation is unnecessary. Our research sought evidence on the antecedents of such separation and how the placement of children into formal alternative care might be prevented. The study was undertaken in eight countries each presenting varied socio-economic contexts and realised through partnerships with national universities. This article, whilst emphasising the importance of the research methodology, has placed a primary focus on findings from the research with children and young people and the information they provided indicating the drivers of separation. Recognising how the participation of those with lived experience is vital in understanding real-life situations and relevant solutions, the use of participatory research workshops allowed for consultation with 517 children and care-experienced young people. Their voices were pivotal in gathering evidence about factors that keep families united and situations that might lead to separation. A particularly prominent finding was the many parallels in the insights children and young people shared with us across the countries. A conclusion drawn from the evidence is that the separation of children from parents and placement in alternative care can be prevented. This requires investment in legislation and policy that ensures universal access to basic and specialist services and addresses a range of interconnected socio-economic factors. The research findings were used to inform a set of recommendations aimed at policy makers and other stakeholders at both a national and international level.

世界各地的儿童正在与父母分离，并被安置在其他照料机构。人们相信，对于成千上万的孩子来说，这种分离是不必要的。我们的研究寻找证据，证明这种分离的先例，以及如何防止将儿童安置到正式的替代照料中。这项研究是在八个国家进行的，每个国家都有不同的社会经济背景，并通过与国家大学的伙伴关系实现。这篇文章，同时强调了研究方法的重要性，已经把主要焦点放在研究结果与儿童和青少年和他们提供的信息表明分离的驱动因素。认识到有生活经验的人的参与对于理解现实生活情况和相关解决方案至关重要，使用参与式研究研讨会允许与517名儿童和有护理经验的年轻人进行磋商。他们的声音在收集有关保持家庭团结的因素和可能导致分离的情况的证据方面发挥了关键作用。一个特别突出的发现是，各国儿童和年轻人与我们分享的见解有许多相似之处。从证据中得出的结论是，儿童与父母分离和安置在替代照料机构是可以防止的。这需要在立法和政策方面进行投资，以确保普遍获得基本服务和专业服务，并解决一系列相互关联的社会经济因素。研究结果被用来为一套针对国家和国际一级的决策者和其他利益攸关方的建议提供信息。

Exploring clients’ experiences of disclosing childhood adversity to mental health professionals 探讨来访者向心理健康专业人员披露童年逆境的经历

Child Protection and Practice

Pub Date : 2025-11-04 DOI: 10.1016/j.chipro.2025.100256

K. McLaren, J. Read

Background

There are gaps in the existing literature exploring the experiences of clients’ disclosing childhood adversity (CA) to mental health professionals (MHPs).

Objective

The current study explored facilitators of, and barriers to, disclosure of and enquiry about childhood adversity to mental health professionals.

Participants

An anonymous, online survey gathered quantitative and qualitative data from 96 people who had experienced CA and used mental health services in the UK.

Methods

The quantitative data was analysed to produce descriptive data. The qualitative data was subjected to four content analyses.

Results

The facilitators of disclosure found were: positive dynamics between the client and MHP, clients' motivation to disclose, and disclosure environment. Barriers found were: negative influence of the MHP, clients' experiences, and session environment. A range of emotional responses to mental health professionals’ enquiry (or lack thereof) about CA were also reported. 35 participants were not asked about their experiences of CA, and 7 participants did not disclose their experiences.

Conclusions

The identification of facilitators of, and barriers to, disclosing childhood adversity may expand the knowledge base surrounding the disclosure process, inform training for mental health professionals and encourage effective provision of ‘trauma-informed’ care in mental health services, via increasing sensitive, effective enquiry, and increased disclosure.

背景现有文献对心理健康专业人员（MHPs）披露童年逆境（CA）经历的研究存在空白。目的探讨儿童逆境向心理健康专业人员披露和询问的促进因素和障碍。参与者进行了一项匿名的在线调查，收集了96名在英国经历过CA并使用过心理健康服务的人的定量和定性数据。方法对定量资料进行分析，得出描述性数据。定性数据进行了四次内容分析。结果客户与MHP之间的正向动态关系、客户的信息披露动机和信息披露环境是促成信息披露的主要因素。发现的障碍是：MHP的负面影响、来访者的体验和会话环境。还报告了对心理健康专业人员关于CA的询问（或缺乏询问）的一系列情绪反应。35名参与者没有被问及他们的CA经历，7名参与者没有透露他们的经历。结论通过增加敏感、有效的询问和增加披露，确定童年逆境的促进因素和障碍，可以扩大关于披露过程的知识基础，为心理卫生专业人员提供培训，并鼓励在心理卫生服务中有效地提供“创伤知情”护理。

This article discusses a feminist approach to learning and its practical applications for organizations working to prevent violence against women and children, which remain largely undocumented in existing literature. Feminist principles emphasize that the way we learn is as important as the knowledge we create, centering values such as equality, care and justice that align with the broader focus of violence prevention work. Through real-world experiences and perspectives from three feminist activist organizations in Uganda, this article highlights the complexities of translating feminist principles into tangible action. The three organizations came together to discuss and analyze achievements and setbacks they experienced in applying feminist values in their program learning activities. Their experiences demonstrate that, when done with intention and quality, feminist learning strengthens the inclusivity, safety and quality of violence against women and violence against children prevention programming. Yet upholding feminist learning principles is not without challenges. These include (1) a lack of appropriate and flexible donor support compounded by donor-grantee power hierarchies, (2) gaps in addressing intersecting inequalities and including a gender-power analysis in learning activities, and (3) lack of intentional documentation of practice-based learning to help challenge existing hierarchies around what counts as evidence. Applying feminist principles supports dynamic learning that prioritizes holistic assessment and responsive programming. The article concludes with a set of practical recommendations for both donors and practitioners to create a supportive organizational environment and adequate resources for feminist learning.

这篇文章讨论了女权主义的学习方法及其在防止对妇女和儿童的暴力行为的组织中的实际应用，这在现有的文献中大部分是没有记载的。女权主义原则强调，我们学习的方式与我们创造的知识同样重要，以平等、关怀和正义等价值观为中心，这些价值观与预防暴力工作的更广泛重点相一致。本文透过乌干达三个女权主义活动组织的实际经验与观点，强调将女权主义原则转化为实际行动的复杂性。这三个组织聚集在一起，讨论和分析了他们在项目学习活动中应用女权主义价值观的成就和挫折。她们的经验表明，如果有意愿、有质量地开展女权主义学习，就能加强暴力侵害妇女行为和暴力侵害儿童行为预防方案的包容性、安全性和质量。然而，坚持女权主义的学习原则并非没有挑战。这些问题包括：(1)缺乏适当和灵活的捐助者支持，而捐助者-受助人的权力层次结构又加剧了这一问题；(2)在解决交叉不平等问题和在学习活动中纳入性别权力分析方面存在差距；(3)缺乏基于实践的学习的有意记录，以帮助挑战现有的关于什么是证据的层次结构。应用女权主义原则支持动态学习，优先考虑整体评估和响应性规划。文章最后为捐助者和实践者提供了一套实用的建议，以创造一个支持性的组织环境和充足的资源来学习女权主义。

Single parenthood and streetism: The hidden struggles of children in (urban settings) Dar es Salaam City, Tanzania 单亲家庭和街头歧视：坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆市（城市环境）儿童的隐藏斗争

Child Protection and Practice

Pub Date : 2025-10-17 DOI: 10.1016/j.chipro.2025.100252

Sister Jeston Shitindi, Yinong Zhang

Background

Streetism in urban areas is influenced by the challenges single-parent families face. Children in these households often endure significant difficulties. While various family dynamics can lead to streetism, the effects of single-parenthood and the underlying factors affecting street children remain under-researched.

Objectives

This study examined the challenges faced by street children in the urban areas of Dar es Salaam, focusing on three areas: (a) the impact of family dynamics on streetism, (b) the hidden struggles of street children, and (c) the difficulties single parents encounter regarding their children's involvement in street life.

Participants and setting

The research involved forty-two participants: twenty street children aged eight to seventeen, six single parents, eight social welfare officers, and eight caregivers from four administrative units in Dar es Salaam. The selection of participants was based on their insights into streetism and single parenthood.

Method

This study employed a qualitative research design grounded in ethnographic methods. It combined focus group discussions, participant observations, and in-depth interviews to gain a deeper understanding of the social realities that participants encountered.

Results

The study's findings showed that children face severe emotional challenges resulting from the difficulties of being raised by a single parent. These challenges can lead to feelings of neglect and abandonment. Single parents often struggle with various issues, including financial pressures and societal stigma, which contribute to ongoing emotional distress for both the parents and their children.

Conclusion

The study recommends that governmental and non-governmental organizations implement strategies to strengthen family support systems, emphasizing economic empowerment programs for single parents. Collaborative efforts among social workers and community organizations are essential to advocate for policies that enhance the well-being of vulnerable urban families in Dar es Salaam.

城市地区的街头现象受到单亲家庭面临的挑战的影响。这些家庭的孩子往往承受着巨大的困难。虽然各种各样的家庭动态都可能导致流落街头，但单亲家庭的影响和影响流落街头儿童的潜在因素仍未得到充分研究。本研究考察了达累斯萨拉姆市区街头儿童面临的挑战，重点关注三个方面：(a)家庭动态对街头行为的影响，(b)街头儿童隐藏的挣扎，以及(c)单亲父母在他们的孩子参与街头生活时遇到的困难。这项研究涉及42名参与者：20名8至17岁的街头儿童，6名单亲父母，8名社会福利官员和8名来自达累斯萨拉姆四个行政单位的看护人。参与者的选择是基于他们对街头主义和单身父母的见解。方法本研究采用基于民族志方法的定性研究设计。它结合了焦点小组讨论、参与者观察和深度访谈，以更深入地了解参与者所遇到的社会现实。研究结果表明，由于单亲家庭的困难，孩子们面临着严重的情感挑战。这些挑战会导致被忽视和被抛弃的感觉。单亲父母经常与各种问题作斗争，包括经济压力和社会耻辱，这导致父母和孩子持续的情绪困扰。结论本研究建议政府和非政府组织实施加强家庭支持系统的战略，强调单亲父母的经济赋权计划。社会工作者和社区组织之间的合作努力对于倡导提高达累斯萨拉姆城市弱势家庭福祉的政策至关重要。
