How is Global Child Forum different to other children’s rights organisations?

There are thousands of children’s rights organisations around the world, because there is so much work that needs to be done to ensure that our children and youth have the best opportunities to thrive.

But Global Child Forum has a unique niche, harnessing the power of business to help drive social change around some of the most pressing and complex issues facing children today – such as child labour, youth unemployment, internet safety, health, sexual exploitation and exposure to violence.

While government and civil society have an important role to play in protecting children, we know that businesses have the might and the will to make a difference.
