Child Helplines and Mobile Operators: Working together to protect children’s rights (A practical guide) image

On 20 November 2014, on the 25th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the GSMA signed a memorandum of understanding with Child Helpline International (CHI) to work together to protect young people and promote their right to be heard.

The aim of our partnership is to help support relationships between national mobile operators and their in-country child helplines, as well as to foster collaboration on issues of mutual concern, such as promoting the safe and responsible usage of mobile phones and the internet by children.

The GSMA and CHI have harnessed the experience generated by longstanding child helpline and mobile operator partnerships to create a ‘practical guide’ for other mobile operators and child helplines looking to replicate their success.
