About Us
EURONET is made up of national and transnational organisations from across Europe who cooperate to carry out this work, supported by a small Secretariat based in Brussels. It currently has 35 members who are based in 24 different countries.
The members of the European Children’s Network are all actively involved in advocating children’s rights as laid down in the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
EURONET's publication "What About Us?: Children's Rights in the European Union" provides the most comprehensive and up to date information about children's rights issues in the European Union. Often referenced by European Parliament members and NGOs throughout the EU, "What About Us?" tackles pervading children's rights issues ranging from violence toward children to sexual trafficking and discrimination towards vulnerable youth. The book is a result of EURONET’s work toward implementing a coherent European policy toward children's rights based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
EURONET is a full member of the Social Platform (The Platform of European Social NGOs). For more information on the Social Platform, please visit www.socialplatform.org.
