Nuestra misión
El Grupo de trabajo sobre las normas mínimas de protección de la niñez (CPMS por sus siglas en inglés) establece condiciones participativas para que la dispciplina pueda crear normativas sobre la protección de la niñez y adolescencia en la acción humanitaria, promueve el uso y institucionalizarlas además de identificar lecciones aprendidas con el fin de mejorarlas.
Normas mímimas de protección a la niñez
Uno de los materiales humanitarios usados más extensamente, las normas mínimas de protección de la niñez representan una solución de eficacia comprobada para los operadores de protección de la niñez que buscan refinar su perfil profesional y mejorar las intervenciones de sus organizaciones.
Aplicación de las normas mínimas en todas las disciplinas
Cada profesional humanitario tiene una responsabilidad y un papel que debe desempeñar para proteger a niños y niñas y promover su bienestar. La colaboración entre disciplinas es crucial para lograr este objetivo y aprovechar al máximo los recursos disponibles.
