Israel National Council for the Child
View the agency’s website
Established in 1980, the National Council for the Child is the oldest and largest organization of its kind in Israel. Representing the rights of all Israeli children, including Jews and Arabs, religious and secular, sick and healthy, rich and poor, the NCC operates on several complementary fronts as it seeks change in legislation, policy, and practice.
Dealing with an enormous spectrum of issues concerning children, the NCC has succeeded in making real changes in the lives of thousands of children of all walks of life and has touched the life of every child in Israel in some way.
The NCC serves as both an advocacy organization that operates a legal center, research center and educational center and at the same time provides a variety of innovative grass roots programs that reach the home, schools and the streets. These include the Ombudsman for Children and Youth, The Child Victim Assistance Program, Separate Representation for Children in Court, The Children’s Rights Mobile Unit and many more.
The NCC goal is to allow the children of Israel to grow in an atmosphere of strength, integrity, safety and success.
The NCC does not accept government funding so that it can maintain independence, objectivity and freedom to act in the defense of all children. A child-centered NGO, not affiliated with any religious or political group, the only interest is the child's best interest.
