#EndOrphanageTrafficking
How do we eliminate orphanage trafficking?
1
Donate to organizations that prioritize family based care solutions
- The 2019 UN General Assembly Resolution on the Rights of the Child that highlighted the fundamental importance of family-based care
- Instead of donating to orphanages, find sustainable programs that support the family to have the resources they need to keep their children

Sign our petition to urge the Inter-Parliamentary Union Assembly to:
-
Advocate for member parliaments to criminalize orphanage trafficking
-
Draft model legislation for states
-
Encourage member parliaments to prioritize family based care in all child care and protection policies
-
Encourage member states to enact and enforce legislation which phases out orphanages and other forms of institutional care
