How CRIN’s organisational mission statement translates into its digital activities and platform.
CRIN uses digital services to provide trustworthy, up-to-the-minute children’s rights information worldwide. As a platform for news, advocacy materials, and an unparalleled information archive, we are able to use our data and global network to steer international policy making and support others in advancing children’s rights.
Information is power
We believe that information is power. That is why we monitor and collect information on all children’s rights issues and make it accessible online for others to use in their research, policy and advocacy work.
Turning information into intelligence
Strategy transforms knowledge into change. With this in mind, we work strategically with the information we collect to provide analysis, identify significant and emerging trends and create the basis for our guides, advocacy materials, campaigns and policy activities.
We are stronger when we work together
Campaigning to change laws and perceptions of children is a mammoth task. We have forged a vast network of advocates who can play a part in advancing children’s rights. One of the main ways we do this is by strengthening and diversifying our digital communications, and ensuring that these are accessible and understandable for the broadest possible range of users.
Open source
We work with open source technology and principles in all areas of our work: these are a logical extension of our commitment to transparency, free access to information and the sharing of information and organisational processes for reuse by others, versus exclusivity and restriction.
