Setting the international standard for child protection
Abuse of children across the world occurs on a staggering scale. It is estimated that 40,000,000 children are abused each year.
Much more can be done to protect them, which is why the Keeping Children Safe Coalition has developed a set of tools to help organisations working in developing countries to keep children safe.
Agencies working for and with children also have a responsibility to make their operations safe for the children they are in contact with. Working for such organisations gives adults who seek to harm children power, status and opportunity to abuse children that they would otherwise not have. Organisations must address these protection challenges effectively.
