The GSMA’s Work with Child Helpline International to Protect Children’s Rights: 2015 year in review

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 partnership saw a busy first year, both in terms of the work that is taking place on the ground between our respective members and in terms of the work plans being developed between the GSMA and CHI.
