  Abstract:

Protecting children and adolescents, especially at-risk and victimized groups, is one of the fundamental duties of governments. This duty has criminological, penal, religious, and human rights foundations, each of which emphasizes the importance of this issue in some way. In Article ۶ of the Law on the Protection of Children and Adolescents and its executive regulations, the legislator has foreseen duties for various government organizations with the aim of fulfilling these duties. These organizations include the Welfare Department, the Islamic Republic of Iran Radio and Television, the Police Force, and the Prisons and Security and Educational Measures Organization of the country. In this study, these duties will be addressed from three aspects. These aspects are:

۱- Analyzing legal duties ۲- Evaluating the implementation of these dutie   ۳-   Identifying their implementation challenges

The main goal of this study will be to identify the challenges of the aforementioned organizations so that special solutions can be provided for each organization. The data of this research was conducted in a descriptive and analytical manner using library and field methods. The field part was collected using observation, questionnaire and interview tools. The organizations of Article ۶ of the Law on the Protection of Children and Adolescents in Tehran Province and Kashan County were examined. The distribution of the referred centers is such that it covers the entire province of Tehran and Kashan County. The data was repeated to a certain extent to create information saturation. The findings indicate that the aforementioned organizations are facing serious challenges in terms of human resources, budget, physical location, multiplicity of tasks, inter-organizational coordination and monitoring the implementation of these tasks. The existence of a supra-organizational department such as the National Authority for Child Rights in Article ۶ of the aforementioned law is necessary to monitor the implementation of these tasks and carry out inter-organizational coordination.
