Looking back
Our work in 2024
Child rights are our history, present and future. This is why we are supporting children in Gaza with life-saving humanitarian work, protecting children fleeing the war in Sudan and creating child-friendly spaces in Swiss asylum centres where children can simply play and recuperate. In our 2024 Annual Report, you can find out more about these projects that we have been able to implement in the past year with the generous support of our donors.

What we worked on in 2024
The world’s most widely recognised UN treaty
100 years of child rights
It was an historic day: one hundred years ago, on 26 September 1924, the League of Nations adopted the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child. This was the very first official commitment to uphold children’s rights. The declaration laid the foundation for today’s Convention on the Rights of the Child – the world’s most widely recognised UN treaty.
We can look back on an eventful century of child rights. Much progress has been achieved: child mortality has been drastically reduced and the number of children attending primary school has risen considerably. Important laws have been passed to protect children against labour, child marriage and violence. Yet despite these successes, substantial challenges remain: millions of children are growing up amidst conflict, are displaced or are living in poverty.
