Mission and Values

Our main mission is to promote the protection of children from violence, combat child poverty, and implement children's rights in Germany. We see ourselves as a lobby for children and advocate that every decision, planning, and measure affecting children and adolescents includes their participation. Our goal is a child-friendly society in which the mental, psychological, social, and physical development of children and adolescents is promoted.
