1. Minimize the number of new abandoned children: This is the most humane and fundamental priority task in the care and protection of children in special circumstances. There needs to be solutions for psychological and legal counseling, reproductive health care, and socio-economic support for high-risk groups such as women with unwanted pregnancies, single mothers, broken families, or migrant workers facing deadlocks in life; build a network of social collaborators with the participation of socio-political organizations, especially women's associations and youth unions to grasp the situation in residential areas. At the same time, local Party committees and authorities must pay close attention to people's lives, grasp the difficult circumstances in the area to have timely support measures, considering this a direct political responsibility of their level and organization.

It is necessary to pay attention to upgrading and consolidating existing social protection facilities in terms of facilities, equipment, social workers, standards of nurturing, prevention of violence and abuse. Overcome the situation of formal, degraded or irresponsible operations.
