Protect Childhood Today
- Your gift will help prevent abuse, and restore physical and spiritual health to girls rescued from sexual exploitation by providing interventions like safe shelter, medical care, nutritious food, vocational training, compassionate counseling, and when possible, reintegration with a loving family.
- We also advocate for the protection of these children at both the local and global level. And by partnering with communities, governments, and law enforcement efforts worldwide, we support the prevention and punishment of child exploitation.
What is Child Protection?
Millions of children are trapped by violence, war, child labor, and trafficking. World Vision protects children by looking out for their well-being: ensuring that communities are actively working to identify and support children in need; advocating for children’s rights; and providing for immediate needs, such as emergency shelter and essential care.
A men’s group in Agra, India, is determined to turn the tide on a human rights violation that is common in their community and around the world: child marriage. Through a World Vision program, they are learning how to create a loving environment for their families and protect girls’ childhoods.
With a joyous celebration, teens in rural West Pokot, Kenya, are leaving painful, dangerous female genital mutilation (FGM) and child marriage behind.
The exploitation and mistreatment of children breaks God’s heart. Join us as we pray for an end to the injustice of human trafficking.
