London, July 20th - A round table discussion hosted by Global Fund for Children UK Trust & Stars Foundation - guest star, Bowie Lam, Founder of Teen Keys, based in Hong Kong - to learn more please read on. For more details contact me: [email protected]
We believe that all children deserve to grow up free from danger and harm—yet millions are threatened by war, trafficking, violence, and abuse. For survivors and children at risk, we work to bring safety and dignity to their lives.
Children and youth who live outside of mainstream society—and who are therefore most at risk of violence and exploitation—are often overlooked. Physical, psychological, and sexual abuse happen behind closed doors; poverty and inequality make children more vulnerable to sex and labour trafficking; war and community violence uproot children and youth from their homes and families. Their physical and psychosocial well-being is threatened. And too often, cultural norms make it acceptable to ignore their suffering.
Not on our watch. Global Fund for Children is dedicated to creating systemic change to end violence and exploitation for children and to help young survivors rebuild their lives. Our grassroots partners provide protection and holistic care to trafficked children, migrants and refugees, child laborers, and survivors of sexual abuse and exploitation around the world.
We would love you to join us for a round table discussion with one of our grassroots leaders, Bowie Lam, founder and leader of Teens Key based in Hong Kong. Teens Key work with female sex workers, working alongside them to keep them safe. Come along and hear how the organisation was founded and the incredible work they are doing to support girls in Hong Kong.
