United Nations Affiliation and Work

Udisha’s contributions to social development have been recognized on the global stage. Since 2007, we have held Special Consultative Status with the Economic & Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations, allowing us to participate in key UN forums and contribute to global discussions on human rights, social equity, and sustainable development. Our work has been featured in various international platforms, and in 2011, we were honored with the prestigious International WWSF Prize for Innovative Prevention of Abuse and Violence against Children and Youth—a testament to our innovative approach and impact.

Our international partnerships and collaborations further amplify our efforts. We work alongside global organizations such as the World Women’s Summit Foundation, Caretakers of Environment International, ISPCAN, Global Youth Action Network, CIVICUS, Taking IT Global, and the International Institute of Sustainable Development. These collaborations enhance our capacity to implement impactful programs and drive systemic change across multiple domains.

The 19 Days Campaign is a WWSF initiative launched in 2011 by the Children-Youth Section and sponsored by the Women's World Summit Foundation - WWSF and other partners.

As a multi-issue coalition of diverse partners using the 19 Days Campaign as an organizing strategy in the fight against at least one of the 19 abuse/violence issues presented in the list of campaign themes, you help create a world fit for children by:

• Raising public awareness of the multi-faceted problem of abuse and violence

• Mobilizing agents for change, organizations, institutions and grassroots faith-based groups

• Educating for better prevention measures

• Strengthening local, national and international initiatives

• Establishing collaboration with other campaign partners

• Creating support at the national, regional and international level

• Linking prevention with the Convention on the rights of the child and the UN Study on violence against children

• Lobbying governments to implement UN Study recommendations and in particular "prioritize prevention"

• Lobbying governments to increase investment for prevention of violence against children and youth, in particular national civil society initiatives and Child Rights organizations and advocates.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
