Currently, over 130 countries operate a national child helpline. However, at this present moment in time, more than 50 countries still lack this essential service, leaving gaps in their national child protection systems. Together with partners and state actors, we are committed to bridging these gaps by mapping existing services for children, assessing the feasibility of establishing child helplines, and working country by country to set up toll-free, 24/7 child helplines that are accessible across the various contact channels used by children and young people. Collaborative funding and proper investment in these services can ensure the capacity of child helplines to address the diverse needs of children everywhere.
