What We Do
Children’s Rights Protection
At Sonja Bertram’s Children Foundation, we are unwavering in our commitment to protecting the rights of every child. We believe that every child deserves a safe, nurturing environment where they can grow, learn, and thrive without fear of exploitation, abuse, or neglect. Our Children’s Rights Protection initiatives are designed to safeguard the fundamental rights of children and ensure that their dignity is respected at all times.
Safeguarding Against Child Exploitation
We protect children from all forms of exploitation, including child labor, trafficking, and abuse. Our programs focus on raising awareness, providing legal aid, and offering safe spaces where children can receive care and counseling.
Promoting Child Rights Awareness
We conduct extensive awareness campaigns aimed at parents, educators, and community leaders to ensure they understand and uphold the rights of children, empowering communities to protect children’s rights effectively.
Supporting Legal Advocacy and Policy Change
We advocate for stronger laws and policies that protect children from harm and ensure their rights are upheld, including lobbying for legislative reforms and supporting child protection policies.
Providing Safe Spaces and Rehabilitation
We provide safe spaces where children who have been victims of abuse or exploitation can receive psychological counseling, medical care, and educational support, helping them overcome trauma and reintegrate into society.
Addressing Gender-Based Violence and Discrimination
We are dedicated to addressing gender-based violence and discrimination, promoting gender equality, and protecting girls from harmful practices through education and advocacy.
Strengthening Community-Based Child Protection Systems
We work to strengthen community-based child protection systems by training community members, establishing child protection committees, and promoting child-friendly practices.
Empowering Children to Advocate for Their Rights
We empower children to speak up for their own rights through leadership training, peer mentoring, and child rights clubs, encouraging them to take an active role in their communities.
Responding to Emergencies and Humanitarian Crises
We respond quickly to crises, providing essential services like emergency shelter, food, healthcare, and education, ensuring that children's rights are not compromised during emergencies.
