Exhibition
“For over 20 years World Childhood Foundation USA’s mission, founded by HMQ Silvia of Sweden, has been to inspire, promote, and develop solutions to end sexual abuse, exploitation, and violence against children. A United Nations accredited NGO, Childhood USA has served over 90,000 children and their families in the United States – both directly and indirectly – through innovative and grassroots programmatic support, global advocacy initiatives, such as #EyesWideOpen (co-founded by H.R.H. Princess Madeleine), and high-level meetings with government, academic, civil society, and private sector leaders.”

““We decided to partner with Childhood USA because child sexual exploitation & abuse (CSEA)are pressing issues that greatly benefit from awareness. When purchasing art and thereby donating to Childhood USA, your donations will go toward programs for children all over the country, that provide help and support. Through our art and our exhibition, we hope to open people’s eyes to the reality of CSEA & that not everyone’s childhood is a nostalgic time they will miss, but instead can be a time of trauma that no child should endure. We hope to hereby educate New York City’s communities, as well as work towards permanent changes to end CSEA .”

Areas of work:
“We work in three thematic areas – Child Supportive Environments and Relationships, Child Safety Online, and Child Focused Response to Abuse. The themes are chosen based on the areas where children are particularly vulnerable, the needs for our work are greatest, and where we as an organization have the greatest experience and knowledge and thus can make the most difference.”
