Joint paper from ChildFund Alliance and Save the Children on accountability for the targets on violence against children.

ChildFund Alliance, Plan International, Save the Children, SOS Children’s Villages International, War Child, and World Vision’s report to ensure that children’s perspectives are considered, and their priorities and recommendations are reflected in the outcomes of the World Humanitarian Summit (WHS), which will take place on May 23-24, 2016 in Istanbul, Turkey.

ChildFund Alliance consulted with over 2,300 children in 40 countries and asked them about their priorities for the post-2015 agenda. In their "free charters" to world leaders they ask for the MDGs to be fulfilled and for violence against children to be added as a new global priority.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres writes: "I am heartened by the commitment that the ChildFund Alliance has shown in support of children, youths and families in preventing and overcoming poverty around the world. We all must play a role and work together to deliver on our global commitments to protect and enhance human rights and to ensure sustainable development, climate mitigation and adaption, as well as peace and security for everyone, in particular, the most vulnerable. The dreams and aspirations of the founders of the United Nations are yet to be fulfilled. I am looking forward to embarking jointly with you on the path of bringing lasting well-being to humanity.
