Dear community,
We all joined this cause because we care about children's well-being. And that's why we've been posting petitions, pledges, and videos about children's health and safety.
Now we want to hear directly from you: what do you want to see more of? How can we take action together to address issues you care about? Please answer this poll so that we can find and post more of the campaigns you'd like to support.
Thank you!

I would like to add an additional concern. While nutrition, education, safety are certainly important issues, one that rarely gets serious attention is the issue of emotional neglect/abuse. Because the scars are invisible this form of suffering largely goes unaddressed. I would like to see people concerned about children being put in long hours of daycare -- sometimes over 50 hours a week. I would like to see people as concerned about children's emotional needs and mental health as they are with their educational and physical needs.
Sasha, you're right - emotional abuse is a very serious and often invisible issue. Have you looked at causes.com/discover for related campaigns? If you can't find a campaign raising awareness about emotional abuse, you can also start one: causes.com/causes/new!
Thank you Emily -- I will look.
i just hate child abuse and the person related to this if i have a power then i should punish them and strictly band this types of work
asylum seeker and refugee children, their exposure to trauma and torture, their lack of stability and safety, their constant fear.
You're right - refugee children undergo huge trauma... What do you think that countries that offer asylum can do to help those children?
Now a days another problem is that, children are not getting nutritious food which will cause malnutrition. Increase in addition of food additives and lowering the quality of food.
I agree with you. Malnutrition not only decreases health, but then the children can't focus as well in school! There are a number of campaigns about improving school food programs, and you can find them at causes.com/discover.
Discrimination against girl child and female feticide is one of the most critical problems of child rights in India.
This is definitely a huge issue. If you haven't seen it already, take a look at causes.com/itsagirl -- they're running a huge campaign against gendercide!
children not having access to proper nutrition or adequate food. goes for their families too. also educating parents of children in the US about nutrition for their families.
