Mission

Save the Children Sweden fights for children’s rights. We influence public opinion

and support children at risk – in Sweden and in the world.

Save the Children Sweden is guided by the fundamental values expressed in the UN

Declaration on Human Rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child

(CRC) and is founded on the conviction that:

 

• All children and adults are of equal value

• Children have special rights

• Everyone has a responsibility to respect and promote the rights of the child, but

the State has particular obligations.

 

Save the Children Sweden fights for the fulfilment of the goals expressed in the UN

Convention on the Rights of the Child – in Sweden and abroad. We believe in a

child-friendly society and focus mainly on lasting improvements for children in difficult

circumstances. Save the Children Sweden works with children to achieve

change. We recognise and underline the responsibilities and duties of parents,

guardians and authorities for the child and his/her living conditions.
