Right now, there are thousands of children around the world at risk of harm. Every child has the right to have a safe & happy childhood and as a child protection charity, we do everything we can to ensure every child is protected. Below is some of the work we do as one of the charities protecting children in Australia and around the world.
Save The Children is Australia’s leading child rights organisation. We believe every child should have a bright future and we do everything we can to give children a healthy start in life and the opportunity to learn & reach their full potential. When crisis strikes and children are most vulnerable, we rapidly respond to save children's lives. Where children are being exploited, neglected or abused, we protect them from harm. As one of the child protection charities in Australia, here is some of the work we are doing to help keep children safe:
The Work We Do As A Charity Protecting Children
Every single child in the world deserves to live a life free from violence and abuse. In partnership with local communities, government, other NGOs, community & advocacy groups, corporate partners and individual donors we deliver evidence-based programs here in Australia and internationally that focus on health, education and protecting children.
When disasters occur, often children can be separated from their families, putting them at a greater risk of harm such as sexual violence, and child marriage or they may even be recruited as child soldiers. We have teams that can step in quickly in the event of a disaster to ensure children have round-the-clock protection when they need it, to keep them safe.
Other ways we are helping to protect children as one of the child protection charities in Australia include:
-
Assisting children who don't have appropriate care (e.g. children in institutions, refugees, trafficked children and migrants)
-
Working with governments to change policies and strengthen child protection systems
-
Running programs specially dedicated to child protection
-
Working to reform institutional care and bring children home to their families in places such as Indonesia
-
Offering parenting support programs aimed at reducing the risk of child abuse and neglect
-
Providing protection and support to children and mothers who have experienced family violence
