Save the Children Sweden is a non-governmental organization working to enhance adherence to the rights of the child, as expressed in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Save the Children Sweden works in Sweden and internationally – both directly and through other organizations. We contribute with ideas, experience and funding to 500 projects in more than 60 countries. Our vision is a world which respects and values each child, a world which listens to children and learns, and a world where all children have hope and opportunity. Our work has two main approaches: support to children at risk, and influencing public opinion and politicians by means of reports, seminars and campaign work. We are a referral body in legislation in Sweden and active in several UN bodies. Save the Children Sweden is a member of the Save the Children Alliance in Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. Save the Children is a popular movement with some 85 000 members and 15 local offices in Sweden.
