Christian Children's Fund of Canada
A recent study by Christian Children’s Fund of Canada found that one in three children globally say adults are not doing enough to protect them from harm. Every day, children are subjected to violence and exploitation, such as forced early marriage, forced labour or trafficking, leaving communities around the world desperate for a solution.
