With a prize money of €2,000, individuals, non-profit associations, institutions, and initiatives are recognized that exemplarily protect children’s rights and demonstrate civil courage in child protection. The award is dedicated to making courageous projects and individuals visible, who counteract abuse and neglect through preventive measures and concrete support services.
