Law no 18 on the Protection of the Rights of Children in the Republic of Albania was approved by the parliament in February 2017 and entered in power in June 2017.

The law defines the rights and protection enjoyed by each child, the mechanisms and authorities responsible, which effectively guarantee the exercise, respect, promotion of these rights and the special protection of the child. The purpose of this law is to: define rights and access to rights; concrete and effective mechanisms that guarantee the effective realization of these rights; special care for children; the establishment of an integrated child protection system.

This law brings another approach to how children's rights are conceived in which child groups are particularly focused on the integrated protection system and concrete protection measures to be taken by responsible structures to prevent, rehabilitate or protect continuously a child subjected to violence, abuse, neglect or potentially such.
