A central Family and Child Protection Unit with similar units in the states were established to protect children against violence and sexual exploitation and abuse and children in conflict with the law.

Units have psychotherapists and social workers to provide psychosocial support to victims and to delinquents as well to re-qualify them to lead normal lives. The units also have close TV circuits to use during investigations, using state-of-the art equipment. The psychosocial support offices oat these units strife to render their services to victims and the accused. The office includes a group of highly trained police officers. Administrations of the units use the service of experts of psychology and sociology (Ph D holders). A training program has been prepared to all staff to ensure quality of work both at the treatment level and the awareness level. The main duties of the unit include:  Provision of psychological support to victims and their families with regular follow up visits and therapy sessions.  Assessment and psychological therapy through deep case studies and follow up of qualification; the study of personal history, psychologically and socially.  Raising awareness of the community about the importance of psychological health and the hazards threatening children through lectures, rallies, workshops and seminars.  Organizing training courses on psychotherapy. Smuggling and Abduction: In fulfilling its commitments under the UN Human Rights Commission decision of 1999, the Sudan has exerted relentless efforts to eliminate the phenomenon of abduction through the creation of the Committee for Eradication of the Abduction of Women and Children (CEWAC) referred to earlier in chapter one (under mechanisms of child protection). (CEWAC) received considerable support from the state, including financial resources, furnished building to carry out its work and more powers as per the last Presidential Decree. (CEWAC) has opened peace centers and made searching for abducted children one of its main objectives. (CEWAC) has a number of projects that contribute to the elimination of abduction and re-qualify abducted children and reintegrate them in their community. A French organization (Arche de Zoe) attempted, under humanitarian work cover, to abduct 103 Sudanese and Chadian children from the Sudanese-Chadian boarders in late 2007. The attempt, however, was aborted; and it was widely condemned as a crime and as clear violation of the rights of those children. Immediate measures were taken and many visits were made to the crime scene in Chad. Visitors included HE the Minister of Social Affairs, MPs and NGOs. Assistance and support was provided to children and the incident was in the spotlight of international media. Popular rallies were organized allover the Sudan to condemn this crime. 61
