​Key Organizing Questions in our Work

• How can we effectively place the human rights of children and young people at the center of our development and humanitarian efforts worldwide?
• How can the CRC, its Optional Protocols, and related human rights standards be translated into everyday life in families, neighborhoods, schools, communities, health/mental health systems, and other institutions and contexts of society?
• How can we build cultures of social justice and peace by respecting human rights at their origin in childhood?
• How can children and adolescents not only be recipients but agents of human rights-based social change?
