In December 2019, the annual Resolution of the Rights of the Child addressed for the first time ever children without parental care in recognition of the vulnerability of this group of children. The purpose of these seminars is to explore how to use the Resolution and the UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children, in order to safeguard and promote the rights of children who have lost or are at risk of losing parental care
In this series of seminars we invite organizations engaged in international development to discuss and learn more about issues related to child protection and children living in alternative care. You are most welcome to participate no matter if you represent a small NGO, are a volunteer, work in research or come from a large international NGO.
