About the organisation
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 and preventively. At the same time, we work actively to ensure that all countries around the world have the best interests of children at heart.
Our highest priority as an organisation is to protect children and young people from all forms of violence. It is our duty to ensure that we, our working methods and everyone who represents us do not in any way harm, offend or put children and young people at risk of any form of violence.
