Welcome to the Daphne-CHILD Grantee Spotlight Series, a bi-weekly podcast showcasing the vital and innovative work of grantees of the Daphne-CHILD programme in 9 European countries, as they combat violence against children across Europe. Through these conversations, we highlight the dedicated organisations working on the frontlines of child protection, share their unique approaches to supporting survivors, and amplify the voices of those creating meaningful change in their communities. Each episode offers listeners insight into the challenges, successes, and resilience found in this critical field, whilst demonstrating how grassroots civil society organisations are transforming lives through comprehensive support, legal advocacy, and trauma-informed care. The Daphne-CHILD programme is a collaborative initiative led by Eurochild and Terre des hommes, empowering grassroots civil society organisations across 9 European countries through a comprehensive 3-year subgranting and capacity-building programme.
