About us

Welcome!

The Global Movement for Children (GMC) is the world-wide movement of organisations and people - including children - uniting efforts to build a world fit for children.

People of all ages and all nationalities, along with organisations and institutions, are working together as part of the Global Movement for Children, determined to build a world fit for children and for all of us. Their message is straightforward: only by working together will we turn the tide in favour of children.

The changes needed throughout the world to protect the rights of children begin with actions taken by all of us. Everyone must play their part, from governments to organisations and individuals, including children. The name, logo and principles of the Global Movement are offered to all who stand for the rights of children, as means of displaying solidarity and as a banner under which to rally. The Global Movement for Children is a force for change involving each and every one of us. Make sure you’re a part of it!

Ten child rights organisations and networks are currently working together on a number of common initiatives in support of and as part of the Global Movement for Children. These are BRAC, CARE, ENDA, Latin American and Caribbean Network for Children, NetAid, Oxfam, Plan, Save the Children, UNICEF, World Vision and the Alliance of Youth CEOs.
