As a child protection and human rights watchdog, the Prostasia Foundation works to identify and track legislation that puts politics before people. In line with our mission, we focus on bills that impede efforts to keep kids safe, infringe on civil liberties, or could lead to increased rates of abuse.
When possible, we provide resources to help you learn more about the problems with each bill, hear from relevant experts, and contact your representatives to ask them to oppose bad laws. Together, we can stop harmful legislation and demand that politicians prioritize human rights and the wellbeing of children.
You can learn about the research behind our opposition to these laws in our research library.
