About the organisation
Plan International Sweden is part of the global children's rights organisation Plan International with operations in over 80 countries. We have been around for over 85 years and have been working on behalf of children to strengthen their rights for just as long. Since the world is not equal, we have a special focus on girls. Plan International is politically and religiously independent and all our work is based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
We work with children, their parents, teachers and political leaders. We are present in cities, villages, refugee camps and where major decisions are made. In this way, we create long-term change for individuals as well as entire communities. We are on the ground in disasters, but also work long-term. At the same time, we work actively to ensure that all countries around the world have the best interests of children at heart.
