Childhood prevents child sexual abuse. We do this in partnership with passionate pioneers, grassroots organizations, companies, foundations and other actors who share our vision of a world where no child is sexually abused. We invest in innovations, methods and partnerships that strengthen protection and reduce risks for particularly vulnerable groups. We engage in advocacy and increase knowledge and awareness of child sexual abuse. We create long-term and sustainable change.
Our work is based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and aligned to the Global Goals 5, 16 and 17. We are funded by companies, foundations and private donors. Childhood was founded in 1999 by Queen Silvia.
Our vision
All children free from sexual abuse and exploitation.
Our mission
