Child Protection – tough sentencing for offenders
Evin is a proponent for the introduction of tough mandatory sentencing for child sex abusers for rape, molestation, and the production, distribution and possession of images of the sexual abuse of infants and children (child pornography). He works closely with other advocates on campaigns that benefit children and highlight this injustice

He rejects outright culturally acceptable child abuse – beatings, education deprivation, marriage of child brides; their subsequent rape and impregnation, female genital mutilation, rape as a weapon of war, the rape of boys in the Arabic and Persian Middle East (Man-love Thursdays). He vigorously supports programs that bring basic human rights to every child.  

Guardian ad Litem
Evin is a long-time volunteer Guardian ad Litem in the 15th Judicial Circuit in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he focuses on severe child neglect casework. Guardians represent the interests of abused, abandoned and neglected children in court. They investigate cases with a court order and, under the protection of the court, provide the judge with a report of findings and recommendations for the child. In 2006 he was awarded the Guardian ad Litem of the Year for his circuit.

Awards
In 2009 Mr. Daly introduced the One Child annual Child Advocate awards which recognize the exceptional work done on behalf of children by individuals and groups (see awards).

In 2009 he and One Child were awarded the ‘Junny Award’ by Protect our Children Inc., in Florida, for their efforts with Child AbuseWatch.

Media
Mr. Daly writes frequently on abuse topics and is a sought after source, and resource, in the media on child abuse-related subjects. He has been interviewed and featured on TV, satellite and commercial radio, and print media world-wide. He ensures that One Child International and Child AbuseWatch truly follows its mantra of ‘speaking out for those who can’t – children.’
