Children in care: a call to action to the Bulgarian government

A number of child rights organisations among which  Eurochild, Hope and Homes for Children, Lumos and the Opening Doors for Europe’s Children campaign supported today the call by the Coalition ‘Childhood 2025’ on the Bulgarian Government to move forward with deinstitutionalisation in Bulgaria.

Members of the Coalition expressed their wish for active inclusion and participation at all levels of the process of elaboration and implementation of the Action Plan for the period of 2016-2020 in regard to the implementation of the National strategy “Vision for the deinstitutionalisation of children in Bulgaria”.

We welcome the recent actions of the Bulgarian Government made at the beginning of 2016, connected to the inclusion of non-profit organisations in the elaboration of the updated Action Plan and we appeal to the Bulgarian Government to continue this process.
