Save Child Rights Connect - Petition to the FDFA to reverse it decision to not fund Child Rights Connect

Child Rights Connect is our central point of contact in supporting the report on the implementation of the UN CRC to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. The organisation provides valuable information for the numerous member organisations, raises awarenes and contributes with its dedicated team to the mainstreaming of children's rights in the UN Human Rights Committee system. On behalf of the Child Rights Network Switzerland, representing over 60 member organisations from Switzerland, we urge the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs to reconsider this decision and continue to support the essential Work of Child Rights Connect.

The European Network of Ombudspersons for Children expresses strong support for Child Rights Connect and urges the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) Human Security Division to reconsider its decision to discontinue funding for this essential organization. Children deserve a safe environment that fosters their development and guarantees their rights. Child Rights Connect's work is pivotal in making this vision a reality, and discontinuing their funding would be a significant setback to the global effort to protect the rights of every child.

It is essential that Child Rights Connect is supported to thrive and develop - as this will support children to thrive and develop right across the world.

It is actually playing a very important role at Global level reaching out and harnessing the efforts of all its stakeholders to better the lives of Children in the World and continuously fighting for their Rights.
