DK Defenders was developed by global charity DeafKidz International which aims to respond comprehensively to the protection, health, wellbeing and access to education needs of deaf children, young people and adults worldwide.
Its vision is a world where deaf, hard of hearing, deafened and deafblind children, young people and adults are able to live safely and without fear of abuse and exploitation.
The project was funded by Safe Online Initiative at the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children, a unique coalition of more than 700 organisations including governments, UN agencies, research institutions and private sector groups.
