Advocacy

Advocating for children’s rights, voices and lives.

TEACHING CHILDREN TO USE THEIR VOICES FOR CHANGE

Every day at SOS Children’s Villages, we advocate for child protection and the development of children in a family environment. Through advocacy at the local, national and international levels, we sensitize decision makers to the rights and needs of children in order to bring about changes in policies and practices that affect children’s lives. This creates important social impact for children globally. We also support children and young people to participate in making decisions that affect them and to become their own advocates.
