Child Rights Connect is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation founded in 1983. We are the world’s largest network for children’s rights. We link those who stand up for children’s rights to the United Nations human rights system. Through our 80 member-organisations coordinated by a Secretariat in Geneva , we reach out to every country on the globe. We empower children’s rights defenders, including children, to influence and use the UN human rights system for change at national level. We work with the United Nations human rights system to make it a better mechanism for change in children’s rights practices.
