Protecting children since 1999
25 years ago, H M Queen Silvia of Sweden took a global lead in protecting children from sexual abuse and exploitation, by founding World Childhood Foundation. Since then we’ve helped to put child sexual abuse and exploitation on the global agenda. We´ve acted where it makes the biggest difference for vulnerable children—from the grassroots to the United Nations.
We will continue our work with the same pioneering spirit. We do it together with you and everyone else that shares our vision of a world were no child is sexually abused.
