Railway Children
Railway Children fights for children at risk of abuse and exploitation on the streets of Africa, India and here in the UK. Our work in this country focuses on those finding themselves in danger in and around the transport network, and makes sure they are kept safe. Using our strong links with rail industry partners and the British Transport Police we race to reach vulnerable young people before an abuser can. And that’s when our work really starts.We look at whatever caused them to run away or put themselves at risk in the first place and try to address those problems so they don’t do it again. In Africa and India we use the same approach to tackle the huge issue of children forced to live on the streets, a problem that is often ignored by society. We deal with the immediate dangers, look at the causes of the problem and also fight for government and policy changes to ensure long-term and lasting change.We won’t stop fighting until no child ever has to live on the streets and our corporate partnerships within the rail industry have, and always will, play an essential part in helping us to achieve that. With your continued support we can get there quicker.
