Protecting migrant and refugee children

In order to defend the rights of refugees in Croatia, staff from the Centre for Peace Studies have defied threats. Their work helping refugees request asylum and denouncing human rights violations has made them the target of police intimidation. Learn more about how this GFC partner supports migrants and refugees, including unaccompanied minors, and the challenges the organization has faced.

Learning from our partners

To get more regular feedback from community-based partners, GFC launched the Constituent Voice methodology in 2019 through biannual surveys. Our partners told us about how they view their relationship with GFC, the types of support they find most valuable, and the reporting process. Read about what we learned and how we plan to incorporate the feedback into our work.

Afghanistan and Haiti are in turmoil. Afghanistan’s government has collapsed, while an earthquake in Haiti has destroyed thousands of homes. GFC’s partners are on the frontlines of both crises, supporting children and youth. Donate today to help children impacted by the crisis in Afghanistan and to provide emergency relief to children in Haiti.
