The Cod¢
CRIN 18 a creative human rights organisation focused on children's rights. We press for rights - not
tharity - and campaign for a genuine shift in how governments and societies view and treat under-
18s. Using research, policy, art and advocacy to communicate our vision for the future, we encourage
people to think critically about the world. Our goal is a world where children's human rights are
recognised, respected and enfor￿, and where every rights violatlDn has a remedy.
In 2019 CRIN developed ils CRIN Cocle which sets out the values and principles which guide our work
and how we behave as an organisation. The CRIN Code encourages self-refleclion, and an
interrogation of not just what we work on, but how we work in upholding our purpose - ensuring that
we are challenging intersecty'ng forms of oppression and advancing equty.
A constant in how we work is holding ourselves accountable, not just on the practicallles of how we
could work more effectively and ethically, but also recognising the meaningful transformations that
need to happen in the NGO sector. We are acutely aware that as an international Western
organisation based in Europe, there is a history of NGO colonialism, oppression, paternalism and a
power imbalance that we cannot ignore. This work 1$ constsnt and includes examining how we can
make our processes more participatory, transparent and based on principles of anti-oppression. This
includes working with organisations and individuals who are looking lo translate learning into action,
specifically on challenging the manifestation and impacts of structural oppression in the work we do
and how we work. In this we also want to seek out organisations and individuals who help us grow and
consider different perspectives.
Our focus since the Code's adoption and in the years lo come is implementation of the Code
ensuring we practice what we preach,
We have three goals which guide OLtr work..
1. Children are recognlsed as rights holders
For rights to be realised, they first have to be recognised. This requires developing strong policy
positions - particularly on new and emerging children's rights issues and pushing for them lo be
tsken up in international, regional and national laws and standards. This includes overcoming harmful,
paternalistic and adult<entric narratives lo ensure Ghildren are recognised as independent rights
htslders. .11 also requires that CRIN, along with the children's rights community. human rights sector
and broader society, understand and Gornmunicale about the rights of children in a way that is
accessible and meaningful lo everyone that has a role in respecting those rights_ We will pursue this
through different communication methods for a range of audiences, including using ari

2. The realisation of ¢hildren'$ rights is a ¢oll¢¢tive respon$iblllty
Large scale Change cannot be achieved by any single individual or oryanisation, but comes through a
collective effort. We will continue to collaborate with a diverse community of NGOS. advocates,
aclivisls, artists. academics, lawyers. campaigners, Slsrvivors of children's r￿hts violations and other
affected communities, recognising and respecting the strengths of each partner and the audiences
they are best pla￿d to reach. This community will continue lo expand beyond the children's rights
sector and aims lo engage with everyone who has a role to play in realising the rights of children. We
recognise CRIN'S role will shift and evolve within this community depending on the issue we are
working on and who we are working with. At times, we will be required to coordinate campaigns or
coalitions, al others we may tske on a supporting role.
3. Every rights violation has a remedy
Identifying hidden and ignored violations of children's rights and caMpa￿ning for official recognition of
them has been a signrficant focus of our work, including in our efft)rts to ch211èn
elm
unit for sexual
violence a
ainsl children in Latin America. We push for the full recognition of the systemic nature of
insb"tutional sexual abuse as a neTrssary step to ending that abuse. In our work on children's access
to environmental
uslice, we condLt¢t research on how children can use the law to enforce their rights
and campaign for stronger and more accessible justice systems for children.
Highlights from our work in 2025
1. That children are recognised as rights holders
Developing strong policy positions on emerging or neglected children's rights issues and pushing for
them to be adopted by international, regional and national policy makers remains central lo our work.
During the past year. this work has included progress on a number of children's rtghts issues.
Childr8n s rights and the digital environment
The devetopment of the digital environment is one of the most important issues of our time. Digital
technology is transforming the way children live - and ils uses pose challenges and opportunilies for
children's fights, The landscape is complex and rapidly evolving.
In Europe, the regulatory landscape has changed quickly in recent years, from the refomi of data
protection across the region, through new legislative ￿SpOnSe$ to artificial intelligence, and digital
serviTrs. Nats'onal law reform with regards lo the digital environment is also expanding in diverse
ways, often with limited engagement with the complexity of how human rights apply to the issues at
stake. Discussions are taking place now that will shape children's relation lo technology for decades to
come. With our work on thi$ issue, we want lo achieve an approach to digital issues and digital
regulats'ons that respects all children's rights.
Over the last year we developed our strategy lo children's rights in the digitsl environment, focusing on
a five pronged approach, including 11} setting out children's rights approaches lo emerging digital
issues, 121 breaking down tensions in the human rights sector, (31 building dialogue with businesses.
141 engaging in policy and law reform processes, and {5} engaging with children via an advisory group
of children to inform our own work and support their own.
We began implementing this strategy, including by developing a series of articles applying a children's
rights approach lo the most significant current issues affecting children in the digital environment. We
are also providing expert non-partisan input at regional and national levels. We took part in a
consultation on the Council of Europe's Draft Committee of Ministers Recommendation on Al Literacy
for Hurnan Rights, Democracy and Social Agency, where we advocated for the explicit inclusion of
Child￿n,$ rights and a clearer focus on the benefits as well as risks posed by Al. We provided
evidence for the European Commission's consultation regarding the potential for a Digital Fairness
Act, and were inleNiewed for the study supporting the impact assessment.

Children's rights and the environment
Climate change and environmental degradation remains an existential threat, so we continue to
prioritise our work or7 children's rights and the environment. Our approach to work on these issues is
multi-faceted, bul central to it is the development of strong children's rights-respecting climate and
environmental policies and that children are seen as an essential part of climate and environmental
decisions.
Together with some of our Climate Advisers (individuals under the age of 18 who are active on climate
issues from different countries around the woddl we attended COP30, the UN climate tslks in Brazil in
November, and pushed for strong child right$ respecting policies within the Just Transition negotiation
track. Ahead of it, our Climate Advisers wrote this letter lo COP ne
otialors and following it, we
published a ￿lece unpaC￿ng what COP30 delivered and what it failed to deliver from a children's rights
perspective.
We also attended the UN Environment Assembly IUNEA-71 in Nairobi in December, which is 8 key
environmental space that this year focused on addressing the triple planetary casis of climate change.
biodiversity loss and pollution under the theme "AdvanGing sustainable solutions for a resilient planer.
We participated with three of our Climate Advisers and focused our advocacy effort5 on a resolution
on children and youth participation. Our Climate Adviser from Kenya spoke at a hi
h-level side event
on how lo advance the human right to a clean. healthy and sustainable environment through a just
transition for current generatsons.
We continued lo share our expertise and views on intergenerational fairnes5 With EU institutions,
especially the European Commission, as part of the Elaboration of the EU Strategy on
inlèrgenerational faimess. We were invited lo intervene as a panelisl during a statement and Q&A
session al th8 EU Citizens Panel, a far-reaching event gathering citizens and the Commission.
On the issue of hazardous chemicals, we continued working on several key chemicals files al the EU
level such as pesticides, forever pollutants, REACH, and cosmetics, while 5UPPOrting broader civil
society campaigns in Europe. We look part in the campaign for an EU ban on exports of prohibited
osilion
pesticides, participating in joint NGO actions and co-signing a joint CSO ￿.
We provided inputs to the European Commission on the evaluation of the Cosmetic Produc
Regulation, highlighting the need lo strengthen the text. In the meantime, the EU institution worryingly
proposèd a set of deregulation measures which would lead lo making it easier for companies to use
carcinogenic, reproductive and Mutagenic substances in cosmetics and personal care products. In that
context, we started discussions with the Office of the UN High Commissioner ft)r Human rights
(OHCHR) in Brussels in order to address the risks of this deregulation package for children's health
and their rights. In 2025, we also provided inputs to several consultations from the UN Special
Rapporteur on toxics and human rights, including on access lo
stice and toxics, as well as on the
act assessments and the ri
hl lo a clean health and sustainable environment.
We continued lo publish reports on chil

national law curTenlly protects - or fails to protect - children's environmental rights. We accompanied
them where we could with inteNiews with children on what climate justice means to them with the

CRIN continued to engage with the Council of Europe on the legal re¢ognttion of the right to a clean,
healthy and sustainable environment as part of the ¢ampaign for the legal protection of Ihe right to a
healthy environment. We contributed with a focus on children's rights and engaged and ¢ollaborated
with Member States, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, Secretariat of the
Committee of Ministers and the PACE Nethork for a Healthy Environment. On this topic, we were also
pleased to publish this moving piece from our Climate Adviser Niamh from Ireland.. In7a
Following the August Plasti¢ Treaty Negotiations in Geneva which we attended. we interviewed tsvo of

strong connections, including by joining the new Youth Plastic Action Ne￿Ork and communicating
about the importance ol a strong future treaty to protect children's rights. We also supported our
Adviser from Colombia with this article on the Escazu A
reernenl which looks at how the agreement
presents a key opportunrty for the democratisalion of climate justice in Latin America and the
Caribbean.
In November we attended the 8th Meeting of the Parties (MOP} to the ￿rhuS Convention, the
Convention's highest decision-making forum, in Geneva. This space is parbcularly ￿l￿vant to
children's rights and our work on the environment as il relates to a¢￿sS to information, publi¢
participation and access lo Justi￿ in environmental matters (see our ex
lainer on why the Aarhu$
Convention is important for children's rights), We took part in the MOP to ensure children's rights we
meaningfully considered within all three pillars of the Convention. We also co-ofganised a side-event
with key civil society allies and Slovenia, to discuss children, youth and Aarhus rights in the light of the
growng recognition of the right to a clean. healthy and sustainable environment.
National security and armed conflict
We continue to focus on how children's rights are impacted by national security concems and by
amied conflict. The violations of children's rights within these contexts has been severe and alarmin9.
In February we co-hosted (with the Centre for Military Justice and Salute Her UK) a Parliamentary

evidence submitted to the UK Home Affairs Select Committee. led to us being called lo give evidence
lo the Committee in person, giving an opportunty to explore key issues in more depth.
With our armed conflict work we are focusing at the nexus of the climate crisis, environmental
degradation, conflict and children's rights. Despite each of these individual areas gelling a lot of
attention, the intersection is more neglected. Our first briefing focused on Gaz8 and the environmental
degradats'on suffered over the last 18 months as well as the ongoing harms caused (including to
children's health) by the destruction. The second briefing will ft)cus on Sudan, looking at the combined
impact of the climate crisis and conflict. Our aim is to push international bodies to better recognise and
address the combined impact of conflict and climate on children.

Child￿n'S rights and democr8Cy
During this year we have had a significant focus on children's disenfranchisement and engagement
with democratic processes. This has involved an increased focus on children's right to vote and we
continued with work on an upcoming report that will focus on a growing mornenlum to recognise this
right, debunk the myths on ageless voting. and suggest what abolishing the voting age would look like
in practice.
Alongside this, we have been looking at how broader democratic systems ¢an be design￿ to enable
the meanir¢gful engagement of children. We fully launched work on children's rights and deliberative
democracy, including through trainings, providing bespoke advice on pro¢esses involving children and

2. The realisation of chlldren's rights 1$ a collectlve responsibility
With chiklren's rights being challenged, or directly under attack, in many corners of the world, il is
more important than ever to work together with others. Progress is rarely made alone. We continue lo
focus on building connections and collective campaigning, both within and beyond the children's rights
sector. We recognise that on almost everything we work on, we need to collaborate to have the impact
that we want and that there is no"one-size-fits-811" approach to working as a collective.

Working closely with affected communlties and people with lived experience. Our work to
combat im
nil for child sexual abuse in reli
ious institutions in Latin America continues to be built
around partnerships with survivor-led groups across the region. CRIN combines its human rights and
advocacy expertise and resourGes wilh the lived experience and national knowledge of grassroots
5urvivor-led groups.
Vve've worked wrth survivor-led groups in the region for six years now and each year we have seen
the ne￿OrkS, boosted c2paGity lead to an increase in their activity. engagement. outreach and
'profession21isalion" This past year we also saw the expansion to potential new survivors, groups_ In
Mexico, following CRIN'S wort(, the country's first survivor-led ne￿Ork of child sexual abuse was
formally established, Nirlez desobgdi8nte, and has already collaborated with the Chilean ne￿Ork on
joint ￿SearCh. We also began exploring potential partnerships in Guatemala and Costa Rica.
CRIN'S role is one of support and allyship, as we do not pre￿rIbe a sel model for collaboration or a
strict idea of what activities the ne￿OrkS should do. We lake our lead from the grassroo15 networks
Ihem$elves, and this involves CRIN playing to its strengths, supporting those of our partners, and
helping to build on the existing work of each network.
In June and August 2025, CRIN implemented a comprehensive Legal Advocacy training programme
lo strengthen survivor-led nelworks across Latin America in their efforts to challenge inslilutional child
sexual abuse and advance accountability mechanisms at national, regional, and international levels.
Developed in close consults1￿1n with participatr.ng ￿e￿Orks, the programme responded to clearly
identified needs and priorities, including improved understanding of legal frameworks, practical
guidance on strategic litigation, and gre8ter confidence in engaging with UN and Inter-American
human rights bodies.
Three online sessions held in June introduced 22 survivors and advocates to the foundations of legal
advocacy and strategic communication, as well as advocacy before the UN and Inter-American human
rights systems. An in-person workshop held in Mexico City in August brought together eight survivors
from Ecuador, Bolivia. Aryentina, Mexico. and Chile. Over three days. participants engaged in
sessions on gtrategic litigation, intemational standards. Inler-American and UN complaint
mechanisms, and advocating for truth commissions. Partner organisations delivered specialised
modules, while a dedicated psychologisl facilitated we55b8ing practices and communication guidelines
to ensure a safe and supportive environment.
The workshops CTealed subslanlial momentum for regional collaboration_ Networks identified a series
of concrete opportunities for collective advocacy and earfy follow-up meetings show participants
already applying the training. from developing national strategic Siligalion strategies to preparing
national campaigns and pelilions.
We also communicated key developments on attempts to seek justi￿, including by publishing an
article on recent cases of Clergy abuse in Latin America, comparing the progress being made in
Bolivia to a regression in Argentina, where the Supreme Court overturned one of the country's most
significant convictions.
Another focus of our work is supporting networks in engaging with key advocacy spaces. This year,
CRIN supported Ecuador's survivor network in engaging with the UN Committee on the Rights of the
Child, resulting in a recommendation lo establish an independent truth commission on Clerical abuse.
We also provided technical guidance on the bill's development and addressed the issue in a briefing
with the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child to support how the Committee addresses the issue
of nab.onal inquirtes within State reviews.

Meaningfulty involving ¢hlldren In our work. We are now in the fifth year of collaborating with our
Climate Advisers and it remains an integral part of our work- and a way of working we hope to expand
to other issues over lime. Their role is in part to advise us on our children's rights and environment
work, but also ft)r us to facilitate and support their own campaigning. advocacy and action on human
rights, environmental and climate issues. In all that we do, we aim to support them to exercise their
agency and speak out on issues important to them- and foster the condrtions needed for their rights to
be realised. We currently have len advisers aged 18 and under from the UK, Armenia, Belgium,
Colombia, South Africa, Ireland, Kenya, India and Zambia. We continue lo be inspired and motivated
by their activism - they push us to think and act critically, wisely and at pa￿.
Over the year we worked with our Advisers on various arb'cles, including on their experience attending

Our work continues to focus not just on what children's rights require, but ensuring that those rights
are enforceable, including through justice systems.
In looking at our work with survivor-led groups in Latsn America, Ihere has been significant
advancement5 in survivor-led calls for national inquiries into child sexual abuse. Three years ago only
the survivors, network in Chile was calling for a national inquiry. Since then the call has also been
made by suNivors and organisations in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and mex￿0.

TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Principal risks and uncertainties faced by CRIN include withdrawal of funding and the impact this
would have. We continue to fundraise and look for new donors lo broaden our funding base. We also
need to regularly review our resetves policy to ensure we can meet commitments and planned
objectives.
Funding
Our core funding for the year came from Wellspring, and New Venture Fund. Project funds have been
received from Oak Foundation, Tides Broad Reach, and The Joseph Rowntree Charitable TrusL
DespTte a narrowing pool of human rights donors, we continued to apply for funding, both for core,
project and ￿gIOnal work. Core funding for ehildren's rights-based work and for small organisalions is
particul8dy scarce and donors, ftjnding criteria is increasingly focused on child welfare. We are
exploring new partnerships where we can share costs with other organisations. The draft fundraising
stmtegy explores other options for income generation activities, including Crowdfunding.
ReseNes pollcy
The CRIN Council, in the updated rtsk register, has agreed lo conb'nue the policy of maintaining free
reserves in unrestricted general funds lo cover nine months running costs. As these costs change
frequently. this is reviewed and updated at every board meeting. Unreslricled reserves at 31
December 2025 amount to £731,598, and this represents approximately nine months of total
expenditure.
Rlsk management
CRIN has been operational as an independent organisalion since January 2009. At this time, the
Trustees established a number of policies and procedures to minimise the risks that the charity may
be subject to. CRIN has developed a detailed risk ffgisler, which has been approved by the CRIN
council.
