Protection4Kids is a Foundation that operates on both a national and international level: our main mission is to assist underage victims of human rights violations and transnational crimes such as human trafficking.
We work hard and fight against gender-based violence and help victims of sexual abuse, forced slavery and commercial sexual exploitation in both non-emergency and emergency situations.
Protection4Kids’ aims are structured around the reintegration of victims into society. This is carried out through the support of various on-site humanitarian missions and active international projects geared towards the empowerment of children and teenagers.
We base our daily work on transparency and accountability. We use our online and offline channels extensively, giving constant feedback to our community.
We are a team of young professionals who collaborate with local associations and international organisations, comparing and learning from each other's experiences and knowledge.
As human rights experts, we believe that everything valuable in society depends on the opportunities for progress accorded to each individual.
The story of Protection4Kids starts at the grassroots, from the experience of Annachiara Sarto, who in 2019 went to Nepal for a legal internship at CHHORI, an anti-trafficking facility in Kathmandu that welcomes girls and women victims of exploitation, gender-based violence and human trafficking.
On this trip, Annachiara made an already particularly sensitive problem her own and learned some disheartening data: more than 40 million people are victims of human trafficking, of whose images and videos end up being shared on child pornography websites in the sea of the Deep Web.
Fortunately, today, Annachiara is no longer alone. A moral duty to combat this atrocity brought together two entrepreneurs that have the means to make a difference which they decided to make available to others.
Andrea Baggio and Juan Ricardo Palacio, CEO of ReputationUp and experts in IT security and online reputation, have embraced the passion that drives Annachiara’s actions, understanding that their technology can help fight this phenomenon.
Andrea Baggio explains, in clear and straightforward words, the mission of Protection4Kids:
“We have decided to fight this battle together and offer a unique project to the world aimed at all those families upset by the tragedy of child pornography”.
