ISS Worldwide | | Movimento Globale per i Diritti dell’Infanzia

Since 1924, the International Social Service (ISS), promotes connections between social services and judicial authorities in different countries to provide support and orient children and their families who, following voluntary or forced migration due to social causes, have been separated or live in poverty or difficult conditions which require cross-border intervention. 

To resolve intercultural and cross-border family conflict, ISS follows a multi-disciplinary approach based on the Convention on the Rights of the Child, approved by the UN in 1989. 

Defence for Children Italia, a member of the network since 2018, has a number of caseworkers who manage referrals on a voluntary basis to deliver the ISS mission. As we do not receive any public or private funding for this activity, in order to face case management costs and costs incurred by overseas counterparts, we ask organisations that are interested in the service for a contribution to the association’s current account.
