Bris Secures Funding for New Anti-Gang Campaign Targeting Youth

Children's Rights in Society (Bris) receives two million kronor for a targeted effort towards children and young people who risk being exploited by criminal networks, the government writes in a press release.

The money finances a third campaign where Bris informs about the organization's support line for children and young people who are involved in crime or are at risk of being drawn into it. Also in the years 2023 and 2024, money was granted for campaigns aimed at children and young people who are directly or indirectly affected by crime.

"Bris is a safe voice for many children and young people, and their work is often crucial to provide support in time", says Minister for Social Affairs Jakob Forssmed (KD) in the press release.

The new campaign will inform relatives about the methods of the networks.

Previously, Bris has been running a national support line for children and young people, and since 2022, the conversations about crime have tripled.
