Queen Silvia of Sweden Opens Child Protection Center in Homburg

The new Childhood-Haus provides trauma-sensitive care for young victims of abuse, marking a milestone in child protection efforts in Germany.

Queen Silvia inaugurated the Childhood-Haus in Homburg, a facility dedicated to supporting young victims of sexual and physical violence.
The center integrates services from youth welfare, police, judiciary, and medical professionals under one roof to prevent re-traumatization of children.
This is the 11th Childhood-Haus in Germany, funded by the World Childhood Foundation, which Queen Silvia founded in 1999 to protect children's rights.
The facility includes specialized equipment for medical and psychological care, as well as court-admissible interview technology, supported by €1.2 million in renovations.
The event coincided with the 25th anniversary of the World Childhood Foundation, celebrated earlier in Zweibrücken with a benefit lunch attended by local leaders.
