Stepchildren of Society
Stepchildren of Society (Swedish: Riksförbundet för Samhällets Styvbarn) is a Swedish NGO founded in 2004 for the benefit of adults who were placed in orphanages and foster homes by the state as children. Stepchildren of Society has three main areas of focus:
- reciprocal support among all stepchildren of society
- redress to those who were abused or neglected within the state's child care
- surveillance of today’s child custody policies.
Stepchildren of Society co-operated with the 2006 state inquiry reviewing abuse and negligence within the social authorities’ childcare.[1] The activities of the association are built upon democratic values and human rights according to the Swedish constitution, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the European Convention on Human Rights. Since 2008 the organization publishes a newsletter, "Styvbarnen informerar".[2] The current president is Robert Wahlström, since 2014.
