Children's Rights and Protection Team

The Children's Rights and Protection Team at International Social Service (ISS) specializes in offering expert socio-legal assistance and advocacy for children separated by borders, or in vulnerable situations due to factors like economic hardship, social issues, child abuse, trafficking, or familial changes such as divorce. The team evaluates and advocates for improvements in national child protection policies, provides tailored technical advice, and offers training to professionals involved in child protection, with a strong focus on intercountry adoption, alternative care, surrogacy, and donor-conceived individuals.
