The SOS Children’s Village Luxembourg Foundation has been committed for many years to protecting, promoting, and defending children’s rights in Luxembourg. Inspired by the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, it ensures that every child can grow up in a safe, loving, and dignified environment. Through its various structures and programs, the Foundation provides individualized support that fosters each child’s well-being, participation, and independence, while also raising public awareness of the fundamental importance of these rights.
Bientraitance and Children’s Rights
At SOS Kannerduerf Lëtzebuerg, bientraitance goes beyond a caring approach: it is part of a comprehensive commitment to respecting fundamental rights. As a member of the Bientraitance network, we advocate for the rights of all those we support – whether children, young people, or their families. In practice, this means implementing children’s rights in concrete ways.
Children’s Rights and participation
Children’s rights are not just a legal framework – they profoundly transform the way we support young people. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is more than a reference text: it inspires our daily practice and reminds us that every child is a full individual, with their own needs, emotions, and opinions.
Children’s Rights and Daily Reality
Listening, Respect and Ensuring that every child feels heard and respected is at the heart of our mission. To achieve this, clear structures are in place: accessible reporting channels, a transparent complaints management system, and an approach based on active listening. Every report – regardless of its urgency or importance – is taken seriously, handled confidentially, and carefully reviewed.
Safeguarding and Bientraitance
At SOS Kannerduerf Lëtzebuerg, protecting children and young people is not just a legal obligation—it is a core value that shapes everything we do. It is reflected in our practices, our decisions, and our professional approach. Every moment of daily life is designed to ensure safety, respect, and attentive listening for the children entrusted to us.
