Defense for Children International

Overview

Defense for Children International (DCI) is a leading child rights-focused and membership-based grassroots movement founded in 1979. DCI National Sections are grassroots organizations that develop and implement programs in direct response to the needs and priorities of children in their countries. During the last DCI General Assembly, a new strategic framework was approved to guide DCI’s work for years. They work to ensure the effective implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) at the local, national and international level.
