There is an African proverb which says: ‘If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together’. In this spirit, Terre des Hommes has teamed up with five other leading child-focused agencies to call on the global community to protect and uphold the rights of all children across the world, and to work together specifically on ending violence against children.

Together with ChildFund Alliance, Plan International, Save the Children International, SOS Children’s Villages International and World Vision, Terre des Hommes have formed the Joining Forces Alliance. The Alliance will focus on two workstreams – advocating for the swift implementation of all child rights, and ending violence against children.

Want to know more about the Joining Forces Alliance? We will be holding two webinars on the alliance and its work at 16:00 Central European Time (CET) on Thursday 20 June and 10:00 CET on Friday 21 June.

Join the webinar at 4pm CET on 20 June

Join the webinar at 10am CET on 21 June

All the best,
