It is a framework for action that defines how we protect the youth we work with. It contains principles, values and procedures to prevent, identify and respond to situations of risk or violation of rights.
The development of this policy is based on international child protection standards. It is based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) and its optional protocols, the Declaration on the Elimination of Sexual Abuse and Exploitation by United Nations personnel, Argentina's national child protection legislation, and international best practices. In addition, it was developed with the advice of the organization Keeping Children Safe, which establishes globally recognized child protection principles.
Ensuring safe spaces is a shared responsibility. This policy not only protects young people, but also guides our staff, volunteers, alliances and suppliers on best practices to prevent and act in the event of any risk situation. In addition, contributes to creating a culture of respect, equity and responsibility in the community, ensuring that everyone involved in our initiatives understands their role in the protection and support of young people. An organization committed to these principles not only prevents situations of vulnerability, but also fosters the confidence and empowerment of young women in their personal and professional development.
