GLOBAL Advocacy

Youth-Led. Internationally Recognized. Fiercely Compassionate.

Elevating Foster Youth Voices on the World Stage

At See Us Now (SUN), our mission doesn’t stop at national borders. As a youth-led nonprofit, we are taking our fight for foster care reform to a global level—amplifying the voices of the world’s most vulnerable children in the rooms where real change happens.

From Capitol Hill to the United Nations, SUN youth advocates are bringing attention to the foster care crisis and the devastating link between child homelessness and human trafficking. We believe international collaboration is vital to protecting the human rights of foster youth—because every child, everywhere, deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported.

United Nations Youth Engagement

We are proud to participate in global forums that shape policies affecting children worldwide. Our youth leaders have attended high-level meetings at the United Nations, where they’ve spoken out about:

The rising rates of trafficking within the U.S. foster system.

The importance of housing stability in protecting children from exploitation.

Youth-led solutions for global child welfare reform.

Why Global Awareness Matters

DID YOU KNOW?

60% of trafficked children in the U.S. come from foster care

DID YOU KNOW?

Children in unstable systems are more likely to disappear, be exploited, and suffer lifelong trauma

DID YOU KNOW?
