Save the Children Central Regional Headquarters (Director Shim Hye-seol) announced on the 17th that it recently signed a ‘MOU for the Promotion of the Rights of Children with Migrant Backgrounds’ with the Daejeon-Chungcheong Migrant Human Rights Movement Solidarity.
This agreement was established to strengthen the regional safety net to ensure that children from immigrant backgrounds in the Daejeon, Sejong, and Chungcheong regions are protected without discrimination and have their basic rights fully guaranteed. Key agreements include: participation and promotion of the project; identification and management of beneficiaries; financial support for beneficiaries; and cooperation on other key projects.
According to the 7th Korean Children's Quality of Life Study (2025), published by Save the Children, children from migrant backgrounds showed relatively lower scores than children from other backgrounds in eight quality of life areas, including health, subjective well-being, interpersonal relationships, and education. Based on this agreement, the two organizations plan to jointly promote support projects for children from migrant backgrounds and strengthen protection and support systems within local communities.
Director Shim Hye-seol said, “Children with immigrant backgrounds are among the most vulnerable in the community, and there are still blind spots in the protection system,” and added, “I hope that this agreement will be a great help in providing a safer environment for children.”
