Courage for children

Challenge

Countless children and young people not only grow up in poverty, but also in a violent environment. They are beaten, sexually exploited, traded as cheap commodities, or traumatised in wars. Disabled children are neglected or hidden away. Their parents are ashamed; they are too poor or too burdened to be able to address the special needs of their disabled child. Children have a right to love, protection and care. Every single child that has to suffer violence, abuse or neglect is one too many. We must protect these children from violence, and give them new courage in a non-violent environment.
