What we do

Terre des Hommes is an influential expert organisation that expands knowledge on child exploitation, how to prevent it and how to respond to it

We achieve this by conducting research and facilitating learning on child exploitation. Much of this research and learning will be gained through our collaborative partnerships. Children, communities and local civil societies hold the knowledge on what affects them and have a crucial role in enabling our learning.

Sharing knowledge

The knowledge and expertise Terre des Hommes will gather and share covers:

• The nature, scale and shifting trends of child exploitation issues that children face;
• Understanding the root causes, risks and protective factors of child exploitation;
• Children’s experiences of exploitation and empowerment;
• Co-creation of research, programmes and advocacy with children;
• The interventions that are effective in preventing child exploitation (implementation science); and
• Effective policies and practices for responding to child exploitation and victim
support.

In order to share our knowledge, we contribute to a public platform that enables learning on child exploitation, and we actively work to build and exchange capacities with our staff, partners, children and their communities, and other
stakeholders, on child exploitation and how to sustainably prevent it.
