Children worldwide, across all ages, religions and cultures, suffer violence, exploitation and abuse every day. And those living in poverty are especially vulnerable.
The ongoing global pandemic has only increased these risks. Out-of-school children around the world are at increased risk for engaging in child labor, early marriage and more. They are also more vulnerable to becoming victims of abuse and exploitation.
A gift to help protect children from violence and exploitation will help ensure that children around the world can realize their rights to education and protection from harm – and, above all, to ensure that children have the critical skills they need to protect themselves.
