Save the Children Children today - in the United States and around the world - face greater challenges than ever before. More children are born into poverty and suffer from war and natural disaster than at any other time in modern history. Never has there been such global consensus on the need to protect the rights and well-being of children everywhere.
To help these children get the best possible start in life, Save the Children is promoting locally appropriate programs in education, health care, environmentally sound agriculture, and economic productivity.

UNICEF works in 161 countries, areas and territories on solutions to the problems plaguing poor children and their families and on ways to realise their rights. Its activities are as varied as the challenges it faces, encouraging the care and stimulation that offer the best possible start in life, helping prevent childhood illness and death, making pregnancy and childbirth safe, combating discrimination and cooperating with communities to ensure that girls as well as boys attend school. Part of the United Nations system, UNICEF has an enviable mandate and mission, to advocate for children's rights and help meet their needs.

The Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers was formed in June 1998 to advocate for the adoption of, and adherence to, national, regional and international legal standards (including an Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child) prohibiting the military recruitment and use in hostilities of any person younger than eighteen years of age; and the recognition and enforcement of this standard by all armed forces and armed groups, both governmental and non-governmental.
The Coalition was founded by six international NGOs - Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the International Save the Children Alliance, Jesuit Refugee Service, the Quaker United Nations Office - Geneva, and International Federation Terre des Hommes - and later joined by Defence for Children International, World Vision International, and regional NGOs from Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Pacific. The Coalition has also established partners and national coalitions which are engaged in advocacy, campaigns and public education in nearly 40 countries (see separate section on National Coalition Activities). The Coalition has established and maintained active links with UNICEF, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, UNESCO, UNHCR, UNHCHR and the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict.

The Global Movement for Children is a collection of people and organisations around the world dedicated to promoting the rights of the child. The movement is about participation, action and accountability involving everyone. The Global Movement for Children is a force for change, calling for people throughout the world to take action and protect the rights of children. We all have a role to play - leaders and citizens, public and private organisations, children and young people.
The core of the Movement will be adults and children, working together. It will not be enough for adults to change the world for children - they must change the world with children. Young people have important things to contribute, and they must be given every opportunity to speak.
