GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The Children's Complaints Guide, which is designed to protect children from abuse, entered into force on Jan. 1 in Palestine, after the Public Prosecution Office, in partnership with the Juvenile Prosecution Office, announced its launch Dec. 23, in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

The guide aims at monitoring, documenting, investigating and following up on all violations against children. It also seeks to provide them with safe environments, even in places of detention, foster care or any other place where children may be subjected to abuse.
