Together with representatives of the World Childhood Foundation Germany, Queen Silvia visited the Childhood-Haus in Flensburg, Germany, on February 6. During the visit, the Queen took part in a steering committee meeting, where she was briefed on the Childhood-Haus strategy, how planning is coordinated at all levels, and the cross-sectoral engagement of the social, interior, justice, and health ministries in Flensburg.
The visit concluded with a lunch attended by around twenty guests from the steering committee meeting, as well as philanthropists. Through Childhood, the Queen has promoted the Barnahus model over the past 20 years in Sweden, Germany, Moldova, Poland, and Ukraine. At a Barnahus, children who have been subjected to sexual abuse receive support and protection under one roof.
