Abstract

Violence against women and children remains a serious social problem in many countries, including Australia. Despite Australia’s formal commitment to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), gender-based violence continues to occur at alarming rates. This study aims to analyze Australia’s efforts in addressing violence against women and children through the implementation of CEDAW during the period 2023–2024. This research employs a qualitative method using document analysis. The data are obtained from official government reports, policy documents, international conventions, and relevant academic literature related to CEDAW and gender-based violence. The analysis focuses on Australia’s National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022–2032 and its First Action Plan 2023–2027. The findings indicate that Australia demonstrates normative and procedural compliance with CEDAW through policy alignment, institutional mechanisms, and intergovernmental coordination. However, most programs and action plans remain in the implementation or development stage, indicating that substantive outcomes are still limited. Challenges such as cultural norms, data gaps, and coordination between federal and state governments continue to hinder effective implementation. This study concludes that while Australia shows strong commitment to CEDAW principles, sustained implementation and outcome-oriented evaluation are required to effectively reduce violence against women and children.

Abstract

This article examines the implementation of social protection interventions aimed at addressing child labor in Egypt between 2018 and 2024. Using a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, this study explores the root causes of child labor, which are deeply embedded in cultural, educational, and environmental factors. Addressing these root causes requires a comprehensive strategy that tackles the structural dimensions of the problem. Recognizing the urgency of child labor as a threat to individual security, the International Labor Organization (ILO) launched the ACCEL Africa project, which aims to accelerate the elimination of child labor across six African countries, including Egypt. This research adopts a descriptive design and relies on literature-based analysis to evaluate the social protection strategies implemented under the ACCEL initiative. These include cash transfer programs, microcredit income-generation initiatives, and public employment schemes, all of which focus on promoting socio-economic rights as a pathway to reducing child labor. Key interventions also include integrating financial assistance with the education system, advancing financial inclusion, and expanding employment opportunities for individuals of productive age. While these strategies have contributed to strengthening local institutional capacity, the study finds that structural challenges—such as cultural resistance and limited coordination among stakeholders—continue to hinder the effectiveness of implementation. The findings highlight the need for a more integrated and culturally sensitive approach to fully realize the goals of child labor eradication in Egypt.
