The 116 Child Helpline will be temporarily unavailable today from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM due to scheduled system maintenance.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Every child deserves a voice. Every voice deserves a listener.
Happy International Child Helpline Day from
It’s International Child Helpline Day! But we still need to make child helplines truly international...
Currently, over 130 countries operate a national child helpline.
However, more than 40 countries still lack this essential service, leaving gaps in their child protection systems. Together with partners including UNICEF and state actors, we are committed to bridging these gaps by mapping existing services for children, assessing the feasibility of establishing child helplines, and working country by country to set up toll-free, 24/7 helplines accessible across appropriate contact channels.
Our goal is a child helpline in every country of the world by 2030! It’s time to ensure that no child’s voice is left unheard.
It’s International Child Helpline Day – the day we celebrate the incredible work done by child helplines across the globe to help and support our children and young people.
In 2024, child helplines received over 6 million calls. That means that, somewhere in the world, a child helpline telephone was ringing, or a counsellor was opening an email, or a chat room was receiving a message from a child or young person, every 5 seconds.
During that entire year, 2,584,715 of these calls were from children and young people who went on to receive advice and support, comfort and counselling from the child helpline. That's around 7,063 calls a day; almost 300 calls an hour; 5 calls per minute. Every 12 seconds a child or young person was being supported by a child helpline counsellor.
Every Second Counts...

It's International Child Helpline Day – a day to recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions made by staff and volunteers in child helplines all around the world.
We’re proud of every single one of our child helpline members. Every day, they provide help, support and advice to children and young people whatever their concerns– their mental health and wellbeing; violence or abuse they might be experiencing, online or off. No matter what, child helplines are there for them.
On this very special day, it really is time to come together and ensure that no child will ever be left unheard!

Every Child Has a Voice. But what happens if there’s no national child helpline to listen to that voice? Currently, more than 40 countries still lack a national child helpline, leaving gaps in their national child protection systems.
Our goal is a child helpline in every country of the world by 2030! It’s time to make sure that no child’s voice is left unheard.
To every parent, caregiver, guardian, auntie, uncle, grandparent—
everyone trying their best to raise children with love, patience, and care… even on the days they feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or unsure if they’re doing any of this right.
We see you.
And we appreciate you more than you know.
Thank you for being part of these ten episodes.
And thank you for continuing this journey with us

The need to protect children in digital spaces has never been more urgent. Child helplines are a frontline defence in the fight for online safety.
They provide a trusted, accessible space for children and young people who are facing online harm, offering them crucial guidance, crisis intervention and referrals to specialized services.

From physical or sexual abuse, to neglect, exploitation and online bullying, violence against children is a pervasive issue.
As we approach this year’s International Child Helpline Day, we remind governments, policymakers and decision-takers that we must step up efforts to end violence in childhood if we are to achieve the vision of a world of peace, justice and inclusion, where every child is able to live free from violence.
