It made the day of its launch a national day of child. The mentioned law includes generally child protection and especially, for the child at risk, which are in line with internationally established protection so as to ensure two kinds of protection for the child: the first one is social protection, both on the national level, where the national authority for child protection was founded; and the local level through the open centre services, which are able to make decisions to protect children at risk category.
