Our Mission

To ensure that the best interests of children in emergencies are recognised by all national and international actors in humanitarian emergencies and are reflected across all response mechanisms, through rights-based and solutions-oriented engagements.

2022 Key Priorities of the Advocacy Working Group

The Advocacy Working Group works to ensure the best interests of children are recognised in humanitarian action, with a specific focus on:

  • Raising the profile and understanding of Child Protection in Humanitarian Action in major international fora.
  • Advocating for the adoption and implementation of guidance and policy to recognise child rights and child protection in humanitarian settings.
  • Supporting collective, cross-organisational action in response to major threats to children's wellbeing in humanitarian settings.
