  • Rights-based

  • Equity-focused

  • Gendered

  • Locally-informed

  • Environmentally-aware

  • De-colonising the humanitarian and development space

Black Lives Matter. Proteknôn supports and stands in solidarity with those taking action to end racism against Black communities. Systemic racism profoundly harms children, young people and their families. Systemic racism is an obstacle to children reaching their full potential and accessing their fundamental rights, both now and in the future. Proteknôn will use the Black Lives Matter movement as a catalyst to reflect on and take action to combat anti-Black racism specifically, and racism more broadly.  Proteknôn will continue to work with children, families, communities, and duty bearers to end injustice and inequality. We remain committed to advancing the care, protection and wellbeing of children.
