Rights of Children, Youth and Women

Future-just policy solutions are essential to tackling the interconnected challenges of safeguarding human rights and security, ecological integrity and social equity to ensure a sustainable, fair and more inclusive future for all.

Peace & Disarmament

To achieve human and environmental security, we urgently need to re-direct military spending and build a sustainable culture of peace. The effects of war can be felt long after a conflict has ceased.

Climate & Energy

Despite noticeable climate change, 80% of our energy still comes from massively subsidised fossil fuels at the expense of future generations. With the right policy incentives, we can rapidly spread abundant renewable energies and achieve a 100% target.

Sustainable Ecosystems

We are consuming the foundations of our existence at a faster rate than the planet can replenish them. The sustainable use of natural resources and effective ecosystem management is critical to our shared future.

Sweden’s Children and Parent Code

Sweden’s Children and Parent Code to prohibit all corporal punishment and other humiliating treatment of children: In 1979, Sweden became the first country in the world to explicitly prohibit all forms of corporal punishment and other humiliating treatment of children. This pioneering reform is considered to have achieved full prohibition in all settings, including the home, and has fostered a profound change of attitude across Swedish society in relation to violence against children. One key success factor has been the abolition of any legal justification for physical discipline of any kind.
