Vice President Erlan Karin held a meeting on the implementation of Presidential initiatives to protect children’s rights and interests. Participants discussed in detail the implementation of the Qazaqstan Balalary (Children of Kazakhstan) concept, which runs through 2030. Erlan Karin noted that 11 laws had been adopted in the field of child protection over the past three years. The measures taken have helped reduce the number of criminal offenses against minors by 45% compared with 2024. A draft law on comprehensive support for children with disabilities, currently being developed by Kurultai members on the instructions of the Head of State, will further strengthen the support system. The Vice President emphasized that the document should include specific protection mechanisms and clearly define cooperation among government agencies. Erlan Karin instructed that implementation of the President’s directives on protecting children’s rights in the regions be monitored monthly.
