One of the few organizations in the Philippines devoted to caring for child victims of human rights violations, CRC’s well established program includes assessment of needs, psychosocial interventions, and child-led public education and advocacy. This year’s grant renewal will be used to create an outreach program in the Ilocos Region, northern Philippines, which is experiencing a significant increase in counter-insurgency violence including extra-judicial killings, enforced disappearances, torture, harassment and forcible evacuations. In each case children as well as adults suffer immensely. CRC’s outreach in the Ilocos Region outreach will involve setting up a new office, training local staff and volunteers, data gathering and case finding, and implementation of rehabilitation services. In addition, the center will mobilize child victims and their families to address members of the local Commission on Human Rights and Department of Social Welfare and Development.
