Queen Silvia visited the Barnahus Day and Barnahus Linköping's 20th anniversary celebration yesterday.
She said at her speech among other things:
"... Linköping emerged as a brave pioneer and with the support of my foundation, the World Childhood Foundation, the operation was built up. In 2005, I had the great joy of inaugurating Sweden's first Barnahus here in Linköping.
A lot has happened since then. The Barnahus model has spread throughout the country and today there are over 30 Barnahus in Sweden. Childhood has also taken the model further internationally - to Germany, Moldova, Poland, among others, and in the midst of a raging war, several Barnahus were opened in Ukraine. Just a few weeks ago, I was visited by the Prosecutor General of Brazil, who came here to gain inspiration and knowledge. I look forward to soon visiting the first floating Barnahus in Brazil, a large boat that will be able to reach vulnerable children on inaccessible islands in Marajó in northern Brazil."

On Wednesday, Barnahus Linköping celebrates its 20th anniversary with a visit from Queen Silvia. During the day, the focus is on how young children who have been exposed to violence are often left without adequate care – a problem that both experts and the royal family want to draw attention to.
The Linköping Children's Home opened in 2005 with support from the Queen's Foundation.
Under onsdagen firar Barnahus Linköping 20 år med besök av drottning Silvia. Under dagen riktas fokus mot hur små barn som utsatts för våld ofta lämnas utan tillräcklig vård – ett problem både experter och kungahuset vill uppmärksamma.
