CRC Sale Protocol Articles 4 to 7 and 10 · Armed Conflict Protocol Article 7

Help can cross borders

If another country is involved, you can ask authorities to investigate, share evidence and help you recover. You should be protected, not blamed.

How you can use it

1. 1Tell child protection, police, a consulate or lawyer if travel, an online platform or another country is involved.
2. 2Ask for a case number, interpreter and safe contact method.
3. 3Request family tracing, recovery care and review before any transfer.

What a violation looks like

Authorities refuse to cooperate after a child is exploited or recruited across borders.

Words you can use

“I am a child and I need protection, not blame. Please work with the other country.”

If speaking is hard, write it, draw it, send a message, or ask a trusted adult to say it with you.
