Slovenia

The Slovenian Children’s Rights Network (formerly known as ZIPOM) is a network that gathers non-governmental organisations working in the field of the protection of children’s rights. It is intended to support and strengthen NGOs through information and involvement in various joint actions to prevent and correct violations of children’s rights. As a coalition it brings together their knowledge and experience in joint activities, thus contributing to shaping the role of the non-governmental sector in Slovenia.

PIC provides professional legal support to individuals, vulnerable groups and non-governmental organisations in exercising and protecting their rights and strengthening their position in the society. PIC’s activities include legal assistance, advocacy, informing, training, encouraging civil dialogue, national and international projects, involvement in policy-making and decision-making processes. PIC is participating in decision-making processes, working bodies committees, networks and forums, in order to advance the position of non-governmental organisations in Slovenia and increase their influence on decision-making. It encourages socially responsible and active citizenship.

The Slovenian Association of Friends of Youth (SAFY) is a non-governmental, voluntary, philanthropic and non-for-profit organisation which aims at promoting and implementing the Convention on the Rights of the Child and raising the quality of children, youth and family life. The Association reduces social exclusion of children, youth and families and give opportunities to experience active spare time. It also develops and supports cooperation with non-governmental associations in Slovenia and abroad.
