VENRO Code Children’s Rights
In December 2009, the VENRO members adopted the VENRO code on children’s rights. It deals with protecting children against abuse and exploitation in development co-operation and humanitarian aid.
All member organisations aim to create an environment that is safe for children and young people and persons at risk, and that guarantees compliance with human rights. This also includes protection against abuse in the context of their own organisational and partner structures.
