Center for the Rights of Abused Children (formerly Gen Justice) Announces Name Change to The Center for the Rights of Abused Children
Phoenix, Ariz. – Center for the Rights of Abused Children (formerly Gen Justice) announced today that it has changed its name to The Center for the Rights of Abused Children. The new name better communicates The Center for Children’s lifesaving work fighting for abused, abandoned, and trafficked children across America. The mission to protect children, change laws and inspire people – to ensure every abused child has a bright future remains the same.
Since 2017, Gen Justice has been advocating for the rights of abused children by strengthening protections to end the violence and advocating for them in court. The pro bono Children’s Law Clinic has handled thousands of cases providing free emergency legal assistance to abused children. Gen Justice’s common-sense reforms have provided attorneys to abused children, expedited the search for relatives, protected missing children in foster care, expanded safe haven laws and opened doors to education and employment. Gen Justice has served more than 500,000 children.
“As fond as I am of ‘Gen Justice’– because of what we have accomplished in the last five years – I know that nostalgia doesn’t serve our children,” said Darcy Olsen, founder and CEO. “Indeed, a name that clearly conveys our mission will open more doors. This improved name is critical to reaching our goal of more than one million children protected across America by 2025.”
The Center for the Rights of Abused Children is dedicated to advocating for the rights of vulnerable children who have faced abuse, abandonment, or trafficking. Our mission is to ensure that every child has access to the legal support and resources they need to secure a safer future.
Our organization focuses on legislative reforms and community education to raise awareness about the issues affecting these children. By providing legal assistance and working to change laws, we aim to create a more protective environment for at-risk youth across America.
Impact of Our Work
Over the years, The Center for the Rights of Abused Children has made significant strides in improving the legal circumstances for children in need. Our initiatives have led to successful outcomes, including expedited searches for relatives and enhanced protections for missing children in foster care.
For example, our advocacy has resulted in the expansion of safe haven laws, which allow parents to safely surrender their infants, thereby preventing potential abandonment. These reforms not only safeguard children but also provide them with opportunities for education and employment, laying the groundwork for a brighter future.
