In seeking to build a safe world for children
World Vision advocates for the promotion and protection of children and their rights. Our commitment to the most marginalised means that World Vision seeks to advocate on behalf of those children who are most vulnerable
including street children
child labourers
sexually exploited and abused children
children with disabilities
girl children
children who are orphaned
refugee children and children affected by armed conflict.
The reasons why children continue to suffer are complex and include poverty
greed
discrimination
lack of education
gross inequality and war. In addition
the nature of children
their age and often their dependence on adults make them especially vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.
In response
World Vision advocates a multi-pronged approach through representation at local
national and international levels.
World Vision seeks to raise awareness on the plight of children world-wide. We are uniquely placed to speak out on child related issues as our as our work among communities allows us to see first hand the challenges faced by children.
World Vision is active in promoting children’s rights to the international community by providing reports and publications outlining the situation of children with recommendations on how such issues might be addressed. |
