United Nations: Stand up for children in need!

The Issue

Join Child Helpline International today. We are asking that "The Protection of the Rights of Children and Young People" be one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Children and young people are calling for help and we need to answer and respond to their calls.

Data collected by child helplines in 141 countries is proven evidence that abuse, violence, neglect and commercial exploitation, threatens the future of children and young people. Given the proper care and attention, our future citizens have the potential to become innovators, entrepreneurs, scientists, doctors and engineers who contribute to the sustainability of the world in which we live

Currently only 1 in 3 calls are answered at child helplines.  This means thatevery year, millions of children and young people do not receive the help they need. 

By adding your name, you are adding your voice to the voices of children and young people around the world who are in desperate need for help and assistance.

Stand up call on the United Nations to invest in the care and protection of children and young people, so that more calls can be answered.

Join Child Helpline International today. Together we can protect the future of our children.
