This situation in the life-cycle is transmitted to the child-girl, perpetuating the lack of protection. This session will discuss how gender-responsive social protection systems can guarantee protection to women and child-girl rights and improve their access to public services, economic opportunities, justice and security. |

However, the question of how to provide continuum care and protection to children living in poverty, is still to be answered.
