Pilar Iglesis
Professional team
Our ethical and professional pillars
Our work recognises children and adolescents as rights holders. Adults and institutions are responsible for caring for them, listening to what they say and supporting their progressive autonomy.
Integrity and technical resolve
We work with technical rigour and act when children and adolescents are left unprotected.
Transparency
Each year we publish our annual report and income statement (FECU Social).
Ethical support
We listen to each person, respect their dignity and their own pace, and promote their participation in decisions about their care.
Strategic areas of impact
We support people who have been victims of sexual abuse, prevent abuse in families, schools and organisations, train professionals and the adults responsible for care, and advocate for policies that protect children and adolescents.
Support Area
We offer professional care to people who have been victims and to their families, safeguarding the information they share.
Prevention Area
We develop technical and educational tools to detect and prevent violations of rights, promoting a culture of care across society.
Training Area
We train professionals and institutional teams through academic programmes designed by experts in the comprehensive protection of children.
Advocacy and Research Area
We generate knowledge based on scientific evidence and take part in public debate to transform public policies and legal frameworks for protection.
Your commitment drives the reparation that is possible
Your contribution sustains the prevention and support programmes, and our independence.
Since 2010
Our history
Since 2010 we have supported people who have been victims of sexual abuse, prevented abuse, trained the adults responsible for care and advocated for policies that protect children and adolescents.
