Justice For Children exists to speak
on behalf of children who have no advocate in governmental
systems. Their mission is to raise the consciousness of our
society about the failure of our governmental agencies to
protect victims of child abuse, to provide legal advocacy
for abused children and to develop and implement, on a
collaborative basis where possible, a full range of
solutions that enhance the quality of life for these
children. |

Kourts for Kids is a nonprofit organization of volunteers across America,
who are working together to find ways to better protect abused children in the
family courts. Many people play a role in the protection of abused children --
judges, attorneys, guardians ad litem, social workers, officers of the law,
legislators, and advocates. However, sometimes children are not protected due to
a lack of knowledge or misinformation, political pressure, or an overload of work.
Kourts for Kids is going to bat for them by supporting an increase in awareness
and education and promoting change within regions where protection can and should
be improved. |
