“When the lives and the rights of children are at stake, there must be no silent witnesses.”- Carol Bellamy, Executive Director of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) 1995-2004

We can no longer stand by in silence and turn a blind eye to the plight of children around the world who suffer needlessly from abuse, war, poverty, disease…their rights discarded, their voices falling upon deaf ears.

Baring witness and taking action to eliminate the crimes against children and ensure that their voices are never silenced is the key to bringing peace and prosperity. While governments around the globe must ensure that the right of every child are ensured and protected, every voice matters and each time one speaks out for the rights of the child, we are one step closer to seeing that their futures are safeguarded.
