In World Hug Group we support organizations that help promote child safety and well-being.

We are proud to support 'Soy Niña', a Costa Rican non-profit organization that works with girls and adolescents to prevent gender violence, early pregnancies and to end cycles of poverty.

Club Niña is their signature program; it is a weekly club, with over 140 girls that can join at any time of the year.

​

It has an open enrollment for girls who live in situations of vulnerability or areas of psychosocial risk.

They talk to older girls about early sex education, prevention of sexual abuse, contraception and also about empowerment.

If you find yourself thinking, “Is this really my business?” or “What if I’m reading the situation incorrectly?” We cant to tell you, you are not alone.



A bystander may hesitate to intervene because of the fear of backlash or of misreading a situation. Sometimes, a bystander may simply not know how to intervene. 



Recently, Canadian journalist Joanna Chiu told her 45K Twitter followers about the time she witnessed a man making sexual advances towards a teen girl on a plane and how she and other passengers worked together to intervene.

 Chiu was on a flight from Toronto to Vancouver when she heard a passenger behind her complaining about having to sit in the middle seat. However, the complaints stopped when a teenage girl traveling separately from her family sat next to him.
