The reason might be the traditional respect and influence of faith leaders in communities and the moral expectations of society. Faith-inspired action for child protection issues is crucial, as child protection requires comprehensive collective efforts. Firstly, the majority of faith leaders, especially community-level faith leaders, lack exposure to diversity, accepting different viewpoints and opportunities for engaging in healthy dialogues other than religious or sectarian debates. Through these forums, fatwas on child protection issues are issued by the diverse faith leaders. Redirecting faith influencers’ energies and activism is one of the approaches for enhancing collective and inclusive efforts to protect children from violence, abuse, neglect and harmful practices as well as enhancing the capacities of the faith leaders on the child rights framework.
