Toni Crossland spoke of the interesting story of Eglantyne Jebb and the establishment of the Save the Children Foundation. Eglantyne’s efforts resulted in the United Declaration of the Rights of the Child (1959), which include the right to receive social security benefits, adequate nutrition, housing, recreation, and medical services. Eglantyne was born in England in 1876 and grew up with a strong social conscience and commitment to public service. She went to Oxford University to study the classics, then undertook studies in social questions, resulting in the publication of a book questioning the general thinking at the time and suggesting ways to deal with poverty through empowerment. Following WW1, Britain kept a harsh shipping blockade of European ports. Eglantyne, and her sister and friends, distributed leaflets describing facts not described in British newspapers, particularly the impact on children. She was arrested and fined. In 1919 Save the Children Foundation was set up at a meeting at Albert Hall. The audience was won over by Eglantyne’s passionate conviction. Aid was distributed in Germany and Austria, despite the blockade. Funds were raised with the support of leading individuals. Recognising the need for a long-term solution, Eglantyne lobbied the League of Nations, resulting in the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of the Child.
