World Childhood Foundation

World Childhood Foundation, known as Childhood, is an organisation dedicated to preventing sexual abuse of children and strengthening their protection. Founded by H. M.

the Queen, it works to reduce the risks children face and promote the right of every child to a safe upbringing. Childhood collaborates with companies, foundations, philanthropists and other partners, and invites people to support its work through donations, partnerships and project proposals. Its activities include prevention initiatives, public information and resources about sexual abuse, as well as the “Viktig vuxen” (“Important Adult”) course, which helps adults understand how to respond when they suspect a child may be at risk.

The organisation also recognises contributions to child safety through the Childhood Prize, and shares reports, evaluations and news about its work. Supporters can give through corporate or personal gifts, Swish, and purchases such as Childhood bracelets and child-rights plasters; the foundation also features the book “Stella och hemligheten. ” With an international network and offices or affiliates in several countries, Childhood brings people and organisations together to help more children grow up safely
