Child Helplines and Telecoms: A toolkit to assist your child helpline to advocate for a free of costs telephone number


Description

We cannot guarantee protection for all children.

We can however, innovate and form public-private partnerships to systemise responses and provide services for children in crisis.

Child Helplines help to reduce violence against children.

Since 2006, Child Helpline International and the ITU have joined forces to encourage national telecom regulators to provide free of cost numbers for child helpline services.

Since then, child helplines in 46 countries have been assigned free of cost numbers. To implement this further, CHI has developed a practical toolkit to help more child helplines provide free of cost access to their services for children.
