In 1989, #ChildHelplineInternational founder #JerooBillimoria explored the idea of creating a #globalnetwork of child #helplines, which could provide #technical assistance to each other, and in countries who wanted to start or expand their own helplines. This led to a meeting, held in Amsterdam in 2003, and attended by representatives from 49 child helplines from around the globe. At this meeting, Child Helpline International was launched.

The work of Child Helpline International is firmly grounded in the principle of #UnitedNations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which highlights the #children's #rights to #privacy and #protection from harm.

The stated mission of the Child Helpline International network is to provide a #forum for information sharing and mutual #support, #assistance with #advocacy and #lobbying, #promoting the rights of children and child helplines as a medium of assistance to children, and to support the initiation and development of child helplines in countries which do not have such services.
