Global Partnership for Children, established by Beijing Children’s Legal Aid and Research Center, is dedicated to providing an international platform for excellent child protection social organizations to exchange ideas and collaborate, with the aim of promoting inter-organizational sharing of experience, problem solving, and the development of the world’s child protection field. Our work includes convening the annual International Conference on Child Protection, providing a database of child protection laws and policies around the world, sharing the latest international news on child protection, and providing volunteer work and practical opportunities for outstanding young people.
Beijing Children’s Legal Aid and Research Center was established in 1999 and received special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council in 2011. It is the most influential child protection organization in China. The center provides free legal assistance to children whose rights have been infringed upon in various parts in China, conducts empirical research, promotes legislative and policy reforms in the area of protection of children in China, and provides lawyers for the protection of minors nationwide working on a pro bono basis. It has also formed a collaborative network consisting of more than 8,000 lawyers.
