Safety and wellbeing
Youth-led and community-based organizations are already leading effective efforts to prevent violence against children. What would change if they had the power, resources, and recognition to lead at scale?
In Brazil, Thailand, and Vietnam, our colleagues share what they're witnessing on the frontlines of the climate crisis and how young people are responding with courage, creativity, and community-led solutions. From protecting rivers and restoring forests to building youth networks and preserving Indigenous knowledge, these stories remind us that young people aren't waiting for change—they're leading it.
Youth power
In this blog, GFC Co-CEO Hayley Roffey explores what youth voice really means, sharing how Global Fund for Children partners with young people as leaders, decision-makers, and changemakers to drive lasting social change.
Every year, Global Fund for Children presents the Juliette Gimon Courage Award to community-based organizations that demonstrate extraordinary bravery and commitment to children and young people. Often working in complex and challenging environments, these organizations remain deeply rooted in their communities while continuing to push for justice, dignity, and lasting change.

Established in 2020, the Robert D. Stillman Dignity Award honors community-based organizations responding to the risks and challenges that affect the wellbeing of children and young people. The award recognizes organizations advancing the dignity of children and youth by providing critical support, creating pathways to opportunity, and building communities where young people can feel safe, valued, and empowered. The award was established in honor of former GFC Board Chair Bob Stillman.
Gender justice
En GFC, no utilizamos el término "masculinidad tóxica" para describir nuestro trabajo con niños y jóvenes. En cambio, nos centramos en masculinidades saludables, la capacidad de acción y el cambio sistémico como parte de un trabajo más amplio por la justicia de género. Este blog explora la importancia del lenguaje en el desarrollo global y cómo la forma en que se presenta influye en el impacto. A través de ejemplos de socios de GFC, destacamos enfoques que apoyan a niños y jóvenes como parte de la solución, fomentando la reflexión, la dignidad y formas positivas de ser.
Justiça climática não é só sobre salvar o planeta, é sobre quem pode viver nele com dignidade.
Climate resilience
Climate justice is not only about saving the planet. It is about who gets to live in it with dignity.
As organizações vencedoras deste ano, Instituto Mãe Lalu (IMLA) e Otros Dreams en Acción (ODA), respondem a desafios distintos em seus contextos locais. Ainda assim, ambas compartilham a mesma convicção: mudanças duradouras acontecem quando as comunidades lideram os processos e quando as vozes de crianças, jovens e das pessoas mais diretamente afetadas são colocadas no centro das soluções.
Education, Safety and wellbeing
This year’s winners, Instituto Mãe Lalu (IMLA) and Otros Dreams en Acción (ODA), are responding to distinct challenges in their communities, yet both are grounded in the same belief that lasting change is built when communities lead and when the voices of children, young people, and those most affected are placed at the center of solutions.
