The International Catholic Child Bureau (BICE) defends the child’s dignity and higher interests. Founded in 1984, it promotes children’s rights in the unconditional respect of them as persons, their families, their culture, the community to which they belong and their religion. By combining research, advocacy, commitment in the field and preventive actions in more than 35 countries, BICE implements projects to protect children who are exploited sexually, or by work, children in the street, in prison or affected by war, as well as disabled children. It has consultative status at UNICEF, the United Nations Economic and Social Council and the Council of Europe, and operational relations with UNESCO.
