goal: child casualties

"A world where children are casualties of war, hunger, or neglect is a world where we have failed our own humanity. But the world we can build together — where children's rights are non-negotiable — is within reach."

Accountability

Parental responsibility & child trafficking

We advocate for accountability of parents who fail to provide adequate care — love, nurture, education. And we join forces with NGOs worldwide to combat child trafficking.

  • Guidelines for evaluating parental responsibility during conflicts.
  • Partnerships with anti-trafficking organizations for immediate support.
  • Advocacy for legal frameworks that prioritize child welfare.

Universal War Law

Promote the establishment of a universal war law: military actions are only legitimate if they prioritize the protection of children and civilians. Zero child casualties as a minimum standard.

In collaboration with international bodies and civil society.
