Justice and System Changes

We have programmes that pursue justice for child victims of abuse, which in turn help with the child’s healing as well as discouraging further offences. We also work diligently to influence the childcare and protection climates in the countries where we serve, working with governments, policy makers and authorities to benefit vulnerable children.
