Our Mission | | Il Diritto dei Bambini ad Essere Ascoltati | Principio di Uguaglianza e non Discriminazione | Principi Previsti Dalla Child Protection

DCI Italia operates autonomously and collaborates with other associations, movements and institutions to establish a rights based developpmental social and cultural model that is child-centered and human focused.

On a daily basis, we tackle the numerous issues faced by children and adolescents through an approach that acknowledges human rights as central in regards to:

• Analysis and research, to understand the elements that lead to human rights violations and suggest ways to increase guarantees for children; 
• Training, to contribute to raising awareness and increasing competencies to adequately support and protect the younger generations;
• Advocacy, to inform and make young people and adults aware, to report and solicitate reforms so that laws and policies promote and protect the rights of children; 
• Activities, projects, programmes support and development to test good practices and replicate them;
• Case management and follow up of individual cross-border cases involving children as the member for Italy of the International Social Service.

By operating through projects with specific aims, DCI Italia acts holistically and systemically in its areas of intervention: Migration, Children and Justice, Human Rights Education, Protection and Wellbeing, taking into consideration cross-cutting themes such as participation, gender equality, context, climate change and a trans-cultural approach.
