In recognition of the 30th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), the UNGA issued a new resolution: ‘Promotion and protection of the rights of children’ (A/RES/74/133)1 (2019 Resolution). This Resolution provides a focus on the theme of children without parental care. It presents an important opportunity to place their situation on the global agenda, to review progress made in preventing unnecessary family-child separation, and to consider the provision of suitable alternative care. It particularly guides states in undertaking specific actions to strengthen care reform.

In the wake of the  this Resolution  on the right of chidren , the Danish Child Protection Network was established by four organisations: 100% for the Children, Alternatives to Separation (ATOS), Centre for Church-Based Development and SOS Children’s Villages. The network aims to promote the 2019 Resolution through dialogue and knowledge exchange between organisations in Denmark and across the globe.
