Saint Lucia has taken a significant step toward bolstering the safety and well-being of its youth with the development of the National System for the Comprehensive Protection of Children and Adolescents (NSCPCA). On November 11, key stakeholders, including government agencies, civil society organizations, and international partners, convened to shape this groundbreaking initiative. The NSCPCA aims to enhance coordination, accountability, and policy alignment across all sectors involved in child and adolescent welfare. The consultation focused on the system’s governance structures, including the National Child Protection Steering Committee and the Child Rights Advisory and Observatory Mechanism. Once operational, the NSCPCA will serve as a unified platform to promote collaboration among entities dedicated to safeguarding the rights of Saint Lucia’s children and adolescents. The initiative aligns with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and supports progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Dr. Charmaine Hippolyte-Emmanuel, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Equity, Social Justice & Empowerment, emphasized the importance of the initiative, calling it a critical milestone in creating a coordinated, multisectoral child protection framework. She highlighted the system’s goal of ensuring every child is protected, engaged, and has access to education and healthcare. The official launch of the NSCPCA is scheduled for November 19 and 20, coinciding with World Children’s Day. Pre-launch activities include a children’s march, church service, youth gathering, and cultural showcase. Dr. Lorraine Nicholas, United Nations Country Coordinator for Saint Lucia, praised the initiative as a significant advancement in child rights protection. Dr. Brittney Dalson, a community pediatrician with the Ministry of Health, also commended the collaborative spirit of the consultation, expressing optimism about the system’s potential to improve the lives of Saint Lucia’s youth.
