The association was created to listen to children's requests for help, a concrete response to the "right to listen" recognized to the child by the International Convention on the Rights of the Child signed by the United Nations.

Today, Telefono Azzurro offers helpline and hotline (telephone, mobile, web, chat, apps, social network), and promotes prevention initiatives, through education and awareness projects in for students, educators, general public and policymakers.

Our Mission is to promote total respect for the rights of children and adolescents.
