The common image of children as vulnerable and needing protection has been destabilized over the past decades. The ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children (CRC) has promoted the concepts of children's rights and of children as active citizens who can make decisions about their best interests. Although the CRC encompasses the three P's approach: participation, protection and provision, questions remain as to the interactions of these rights, especially how they can supplement each other and contribute to better well-being for children. This interaction is especially relevant in cases of children in vulnerable situations, such as maltreatment. Over the years the professional discourse on child maltreatment has been focused mostly on protection and provision. Here we discuss the interaction between protection of maltreated children and their participation. Five aspects of child participation in the field of child maltreatment will be presented: children's participation in the definition of child maltreatment phenomena; children's participation in measuring the prevalence of child maltreatment; children's participation in clinical assessments; children's participation in in the decision-making process in child protection system; and children's participation in the efforts to prevent child maltreatment.
在过去几十年中，儿童易受伤害和需要保护的普遍形象已经不再稳固。《联合国儿童权利公约》（CRC）的批准促进了儿童权利和儿童作为可以就自身最佳利益做出决策的积极公民的概念。尽管 CRC 涵盖了参与、保护和供给这三个方面，但这些权利之间的相互作用仍存在疑问，特别是它们如何相互补充并有助于儿童更好地福祉。这种相互作用在儿童处于弱势处境（如遭受虐待）的情况下尤为重要。多年来，儿童虐待问题的专业论述主要集中在保护和供给方面。在这里，我们将讨论受虐待儿童的保护与参与之间的相互作用。将提出儿童在儿童虐待领域参与的五个方面：儿童参与虐待现象的定义；儿童参与衡量虐待儿童的普遍性；儿童参与临床评估；儿童参与儿童保护系统的决策过程；以及儿童参与预防儿童虐待的努力。
