Plan International Hong Kong Honored with Several Awards In Recognition of Its Efforts on Advancing Children’s Rights
Just entered its 85th year, Plan International has been supporting children and their families as well as communities to improve their quality of life so that they can move out of poverty and attain self-reliance, in six main areas including education, early childhood development, ending violence, sexual and reproductive health and rights, skills and decent work and young people driving change. Plan International is also committed to promoting girls’ rights through eliminating child marriage, female genital mutilation; and gender-based violence, so that girls can learn, lead, decide and thrive, and be free from injustice and oppression. Plan International Hong Kong has been developing local child safeguarding programmes in recent years to prevent child abuse and transform Hong Kong into a Child Safeguarding City. Earlier, we were delighted to receive several awards recognising our efforts in advancing children and girls’ rights. Our Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Kanie Siu was presented with a leadership award in the recognition of her efforts to promote children’s rights and development over the years.
