Since its establishment in 1997, the Hänsel +
Gretel Foundation has been initiating and supporting projects which deal
especially with child protection. Families, parents, teachers
and others in education as well as the police, the judiciary and medical
doctors are also being supported in their work by the foundation's network.Through Public relations,
politically supported individual projects and the organisation of frameworks
which make the direct protection of children easier, the foundation is breaking
into new and professional areas of project development. The realisation of
these innovative concepts brings the topic of child protection into the
public eye giving it more significance and raising its priority in social
affairs.Initially the founding of
the Hänsel + Gretel Foundation was sparked by the shocking case of child abuse
connected with the Belgian Dutroux affair of 1996.
