Åsa Andreasson Åkerström from the World Childhood Foundation Sweden has told to Svensk Damtidning about how Madeleine will now work for WCF:
- She comes closer and participates in Childhood USA's activities, with greater opportunity to attend work meetings, project visits, events, etc. This in addition to the board meetings she, as a member of Childhood Sweden's Board and Honorary Member of the Childhood USA Board, attends in Sweden as well as in the USA, wrote Åsa in an email.
Does she have a project that she focuses extra on right now?
- 2019 Childhood celebrates 20 years and Princess Madeleine is involved in the preparation. She has also been the initiator of the #EyesWideOpen campaign launched in the United States in 2015 and has since taken various shapes worldwide. WCF Sweden's campaign #bryttystnaden we have been working with last year is a continuation of #EyesWideOpen - both campaigns basically argue that the best way to prevent sexual abuse of children - Childhood's focus issue - is safe adults in the child's vicinity, adults who are there, watching, listening and asking.
Åkerström tells also that Princess Madeleine will be at the New York office where she will attend events, work meetings and board meetings. On the other hand, she will not participate in the daily operative activities.
On October 3rd Madeleine will attend the UN meeting that Childhood organizes annually to discuss how sexual abuse of children can be put on the global agenda, and in the evening she attends at ThankYou Gala.

During her visit to Leipzig queen Silvia will among other things inaugurate the first Childhood House in Germany.
Queen Silvia has spoken to Frankfurter Allgemeine
"Faster processes and child-friendly procedures"
Often it takes too long after a case of abuse until affected children receive protection, help or therapy. That's what Queen Silvia of Sweden wants to change - and calls for children to be more at the center of abusive practices.

Queen Silvia spoke at the opening of the German Lawyers' Day in Leipzig today. She told them about the Childhood House she inaugurates tomorrow.

Round 2.5 million children are involved in trials every year in the European Union as victims or witnesses. It is mostly about custody, sexual abuse and exploitation. At the opening of the German Lawyer's Day on Wednesday, Queen Silvia emphasized that she was keen to protect children and give them access to justice. That's why she founded the World Childhood Foundation 19 years ago. "Children involved in litigation are often scared, over-sensed, insecure in many situations and not taken seriously, and wish to be treated with respect and dignity."

ROYAL: Silvia eröffnet Kinderschutzzentrum in Leipzig

"CHILDHOOD STORIES 3/5. They said it would not happen - when Childhood Germany began to run the issue of setting up Barnahus with unified support for children exposed to sexual abuse and violence. The experts said that the German justice system was simply incompatible with Barnahus. Two years later, 'Childhood Haus' in Leipzig is reality: Today, the founder of Childhood, Queen Silvia, opened Germany's first children's house together with German Minister of Justice, Katarina Barley. Great!"

Queen Silvia exports Swedish barnahus (children's homes) to Germany
Queen Silvia today opens the first children's house in Germany. In a children's house, children and young people are taken for police hearings after a report on abuse or sexual abuse. All the relevant authorities are there to act quickly for the best interests of the child.
The Queen's organization World Childhood Foundation was in charge of the first children's house in Linköping in 2005. There are now 32 children's homes in Sweden, and the idea is spreading to many EU countries.
To a children's house, children come to the police hearing for a child-friendly environment. Instead of the child repeating his story several times, others involved as social security officers, prosecutors and pediatricians will be there to listen and quickly support the child and decide on action.
More countries on time
Iceland was first out, after American model. In Finland, Poland, the Baltic States and the UK, children's homes are underway.
- We want the children's homes to become reality throughout the EU. It is an extremely good way for all involved authorities to assist in the best interests of the child with rapid efforts for vulnerable children, said Turid Heiberg, who heads the work of the Baltic Sea councils.

It was planned that only Madeleine would attend at the Childhood Seminar at the UN tomorrow, and at the WCF's ThankYou Gala. But now queen Silvia has flewn to New York too.
When Princess Madeleine, Chris O'Neill and the three children this summer moved to Florida, the court announced that Madeleine will now focus on Childhood Foundation's activities in the United States.
The first major commitment would be the charity organization's annual ThankYou gala in New York tomorrow night. But in the end it was unclear whether princess Madeleine would really appear on the red carpet. In the schedule that went out to the journalists, Queen Silvia appeared to have replaced Madeleine - both at the UN headquarters during the day and on the exclusive gala at Cipriani restaurant in the evening.
Now comes the explanation: Princess Madeleine's three little children have all been ill.
- There has been cold with fever and so sick that we have planned for plan B - that the queen should go, says Margareta Thorgren.
But in the end, the children were healthy enough for Madeleine to feel that she could still travel to New York:
- She was aware that her name is at the invitation cards and tried to find a solution to the last. You never know when it comes to children and high fever, but now she does her utmost and goes, says Thorgren.
The decision was taken late in the Monday.
- The princess is very committed to their children and it is a new environment since they moved. She would rather not leave them when they are sick, but Adrienne is now so stable she can accompany and the other two are left at home with her father who takes care of them.
Despite Madeleine is now coming to New York, the Queen is still going to go.
- You must inform the UN who comes, and then Plan B got to enter. The queen would like to be there too. It is the Queen who founded Childhood and next year is the 20th anniversary, which means that she is currently working extra hard on these questions. She has just returned from Leipzig where Childhood opened a "children's house" (for children who have been subjected to violence or sexual abuse), says Thorgren.
- As the princess moved to the United States, she will be a bit more involved in Childhood in the United States. She wants to increase her commitment and work more actively.
How does the family like Florida?
- It's a big move when you move with three children. The family is acclimatizing and getting everyday life to work with schools for example. It's a lot about security and getting into a normal everyday life, says Thorgren.
Is Chris O'Neill working?
- He has always had an established work situation in the United States, so there is no change in his work. He has been working throughout Europe and the United States in the past.

Queen Silvia has been in Brazil since Tuesday, and she attended at a dinner with Childhood Brazil.
"Do you know who is in Brazil? Your Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden! In São Paulo, where she is since Tuesday, 06/11, the monarch has already participated in a dinner @ childhoodbrasil. Established in 1999 by the Queen herself, the purpose of this institution is to protect children and adolescents, focusing on coping with sexual abuse and exploitation of children and adolescents. The swimmer @ jujuca1987 and the judoca @correaluciano participated in the night of fraternization in the city of São Paulo."
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp6yUWglYx5/
"It is an honor to meet Queen Silvia of Sweden, responsible for the Childhood Foundation, which since 1999 has been dedicated to the promotion and rights of children throughout the world. Here in Brazil, @ childhoodbrasil has specific actions in the fight against sexual abuse and exploitation of children and adolescents. Do not miss the site www.childhood.org.br and have access to important and relevant information about the topic.
During her visit to Brazil, the Queen will meet with Minister Dias Tóffoli to discuss the protected listening law 13431/17 (Mrs. Maria do Rosário's bill), which aims to enable the testimonies of children and adolescents to be carried out with the support of a trained technical team, avoiding contact with the aggressor and process of revictimization. Each of us, regardless of the function and position he occupies, can and should do his part in building a more fraternal society. In particular, I feel motivated to continue fighting for what I believe in meeting people who play this role in the world"

Press release from Förlaget Näringslivshistoria
Our Christmas gift this year is a book about Childhood's 20 years, which we have done together with Childhood, about their work to give children a safer and more loving childhood. In the book you meet some of all the projects that have been supported - and get to hear from Queen Silvia about why she started Childhood.
In 1999, the World Childhood Foundation was founded by Queen Silvia, with the aim of preventing violence and sexual abuse of children. During the 20 years since then, Childhood has provided support for more than a thousand different projects, to develop new methods and models so that more children can have a safe and loving childhood.
In the book "För en barndom fri från våld" (For a childhood free from violence), some of these projects are presented.
The book was also handed over as a much appreciated gift to the Queen on 18th December.
The book is available today in Swedish version, and in February will also be available in English, German and Portuguese editions.
