This is why we decided to implement the ChildSafe Network in Switzerland, to encourage all travelers to become involved in the protection of children while traveling.
The ChildSafe Network is made up of travelers, travel agencies and tour operators, foreign consulates, airlines and airports, media and others who share a common goal: improve the protection of vulnerable children.Every day, these partners are helping us to strengthen the network, increasing the number of children being protected from all forms of abuse, violence and exploitation.The ultimate objective is to reach as many travelers as possible, raising their awareness about the difficulties street children are facing and making them understand how they can improve the situation of these children by following the ChildSafe traveler tips.
By developing individual awareness, we hope that the ChildSafe philosophy will one day become a natural way of thinking and behaving for all travelers and members of society.

 

 

The ChildSafe network objective is to develop an extensive child protection network advancing community responsibility towards defending child rights and protecting them from all forms of abuse.
To achieve this objective in Switzerland, ChildSafe will:
Continue to select, train and certify as many travel agencies, tour operators, ebookers and consulates as possible.
Develop more partnerships with airlines and airports to extend the spread of the ChildSafe campaign for travelers.
Develop our presence on internet communities, in the press,  on television and radio channels in order to encourage the largest number of persons to become involved.
Participate to the Travel Trade Workshop 2009 in Montreux, an event bringing together the most important actors of the tourism scene in Switzerland.
