Promise
PROMISE Barnahus Network
The PROMISE Barnahus Network celebrated its launch on 25th November 2019 in Helsinki, Finland. The celebration featured a ceremonial signing of the statutes and an exhibition about Barnahus.
The Network is a formalisation of the European Barnahus Movement, which was launched in June 2017 in the presence of the EU Commissioner for Justice and Consumer Rights, and the UN Special Representative on Violence against Children. The launch of the movement confirmed Barnahus as a good practice, validated the Barnahus model as a widely accepted concept and consolidated the European network of Barnahus staff and interested government officials and practitioners.
