Israel National Council for the Child

The Israel National Council for the Child (Hebrew: המועצה הלאומית לשלום הילד, romanized: Ha-Moetzah ha-Lumit le-Shalom ha-Yeled) in Jerusalem, Israel, is an Israeli independent non-profit non-governmental organization that advocates for children's rights and well-being.

The NCC's ombudsmen, a position established in 1999 after a three-year test project, investigates thousands of potential violations annually.

[2][11] In February 1990, the NCC published a report that concluded that abused and neglected children in Israel faced a shortage of juvenile court judges and a case backlog, and suggested the creation of a country-wide children-protection authority.

[12] Every year since 1992, the NCC has published "The State of the Child in Israel – A Statistical Abstract," which contains data on Israeli children.

[16] In December 2007, the NCC's Executive Director warned of "the potential damage to the mental health of a child exposed" to pedophiles online, and warned that maintaining child pornography on a computer is not only illegal but has the effect of providing support for an industry that causes harm to children.
