Amplifying our Voices to Advocate for Change
Join hands with us and take a stand
No one institution, organization or government can tackle critical issues in isolation; it is only through working in partnership that we can work towards eradicating violence against children.Â


ISPCAN brings together the country, regional and global organizations with the influence, expertise and resources required to transform how child abuse and neglect is prevented worldwide.
By taking a public stand on key issues, we strive to deliver real change through a broad coalition of dedicated multidisciplinary partners dedicated to the protection of children everywhere.

SIGN ON TO RAISE AWARENESS
Together with our members and partners we advocate for change:
- Raise awareness
- Data and evidence must shed light on child protection issues
- Policies and laws change when governments are educated
- Funding for public health programs can become priorities
