Our organization's mission: We believe that human dignity is born when a child is born. A human's Dignity is unalienable; it cannot be taken away. Respecting and protecting a child's dignity is the duty of adults. And we are the adults. A child's dignity is fragile and vulnerable. Only a safe environment can help preserve it. And our society needs special tools, knowledge, and practices to create this environment. We develop and implement special programs aimed at creating a safe environment for children, both inside their families and outside. Any home or social space, whether It is the school or childcare center, an orphanage or boarding school, cyberspace or social networks, must ensure that the psychological and physical boundaries of a child are treated with respect. A society that protects the rights of its most vulnerable members protects the rights of everyone. Respecting a child means respecting the present and the future. Children might have different abilities - physical limited, socially impaired, or intellectually deficient - but their rights are always equal. Our goal is to design and implement programs for preventing bullying among children; to develop inclusive practices in schools, cultural institutions, and workplaces; to implement programs aimed at preventing any kind of child abuse in any area of a child's life, education, and development. Our programs involve professionals from other foundations and nonprofits, as well as social service experts. Together, we will make a comprehensive, competent, and open effort to: inform children and adults about existing issues of abuse and violence; help form a child's ability to be fully aware of their situation and develop a sense of psychological and physical self-preservation use scientific data to design tools and methods for identifying and preventing practices of violence, covert aggression, humiliation, and bullying in different social groups and settings provide responsible adults with practices and approaches that help discover signs of abuse and violence at very early stages and minimize violence in youth and children's groups amend professional training standards for teachers and childcare experts to include skills for attribution of bullying implement an ethics code that would eliminate any possibility of a teacher being the source of humiliation or psychological terror for a child in their care.
