The International Bureau of Children's Rights is a non-governmental organisation that has been upholding the rights of the child for more than 25 years in over 45 countries across Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East. Using an approach that is both participative and sustainable, we work with our partners in the field to promote and protect the rights of children, including those who are in contact with the legal system or affected by a humanitarian crisis caused by armed conflict or natural disaster. We also aim to prevent child exploitation, violence, abuse and neglect in all forms, particularly where sexual mistreatment is concerned.Through our interventions, we strengthen and build the capacity of those who work directly with children, including social workers, representatives of security and defence forces, members of the judiciary, civil society groups, organisations in the formal and informal private sector, and decisionmakers in Canada and abroad. We also support the efforts of our partners to bring about structural reforms leading to professional practices that reflect greater respect for the rights of children.In all our initiatives, we ensure that children are protected and given the chance to participate and have their voices heard.
