The International Society for Prevention
of Child Abuse and Neglect
Mission
To support individuals and organizations working to protect
children from abuse and neglect worldwide
The International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and
Neglect, founded in 1977, is the only multidisciplinary international
organization that brings together a worldwide cross-section of
committed professionals to work towards the prevention and treatment
of child abuse, neglect and exploitation globally.
ISPCAN's mission is to prevent cruelty to children in every
nation, in every form: physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect,
street children, child fatalities, child prostitution, children
of war, emotional abuse and child labor. ISPCAN is committed to
increasing public awareness of all forms of violence against children,
developing activities to prevent such violence, and promoting
the rights of children in all regions of the world. ISPCAN invites
you to join forces with its members around the world to protect
children in need: their bodies, minds, hearts and rights. Learn
