In today’s fractured and distracted world, the voices of children are too often the quietest in the room. While governments speak about the future, demographic sustainability, and prosperity, the everyday reality of millions of children tells a different story – one of instability, emotional insecurity, and systems that respond too late.
When Protection Comes Too Late
Children should be the first priority of every society. Too often, they are not. Laws exist. Conventions exist. Declarations exist. But childhood does not live in documents – it lives in reality. A lost year cannot be returned. A broken sense of safety cannot be undone. The approach of many state children’s organizations is tragically reminiscent of a famous scene from Francis Ford Coppola’s film Apocalypse Now, where an army first inflicts devastation on civilians and then hypocritically bandages their wounds. This is precisely the situation we often see today. Protection must come before harm – not after. For this reason, with Zlata Holušová, we founded One World Family as a non-political, globally oriented initiative dedicated exclusively to children and families. OWF exists to reconnect ethics with leadership, culture with responsibility, and global dialogue with real, measurable protection of children. 1SIGN Foundation exists to close the gap between principle and practice – to ensure that responsibility is not postponed, and that protection is not conditional. Because a society is not judged by what it promises, but by what it protects. And nothing reveals the integrity of leadership more clearly than whether its children feel safe.

Invisible Chains: Facing the Reality of Forced Labor and Exploitation
The numbers above are not abstract statistics but real lives trapped within exploitative systems, often hidden in plain sight. From agricultural fields to criminal networks, from domestic servitude to forced marriages, the forms of exploitation may differ, yet their impact remains profoundly devastating.

One World Family - 2026
The 1SIGN Global Summit “One World Family” – when families break, societies break. Stand for Families. Stand for the Future. OWF unites leading speakers, policymakers, and cultural leaders in a high-level conference by day and a world-class music program by night. Through global participation and artistic excellence, it mobilizes awareness and philanthropic support to strengthen families and protect children worldwide.
Stop Child Trafficking
1,500 Child Trafficking in UK; 3,000 Cases Worldwide
The facts are alarming: worldwide, child trafficking victims face repeated cycles of abuse, often forced into criminal operations or exploitative labor. 2024 UK government report revealed a stark systemic failure: 1,541 trafficked children were referred multiple times to the NRM, raising serious concerns that many were simply returned to their exploiters after seeking help.
Mission
1SIGN Foundation was established with the objective of strengthening professional and ethical standards in work with children, and of contributing to systemic frameworks that address violence, abuse, exploitation, and trafficking. Through its global platform, One World Family (OWF), the Foundation promotes preventive, child-centered approaches aligned with international principles.
Recognizing that child protection requires continuous improvement and cross-sector cooperation, we advocate for responsible governance, public awareness, and cultural engagement that place the best interests of the child at the center of decision-making. By elevating dialogue through cultural initiatives and international collaboration, we strive to help create a world where every child is safe, respected, and able to develop with dignity and freedom.
Vision
We are working toward a world where every child grows up protected from violence, exploitation, and trafficking, and where dignity and safety are fundamental standards rather than aspirations.
Protecting one child contributes to safeguarding future generations. Through ethical commitment and responsible engagement, each partner and supporter helps strengthen the conditions in which vulnerable children can thrive. Every individual who chooses to support our mission becomes part of a meaningful effort to advance stability, opportunity, and a better future for children and families.

EU/Czech Authorities Failed to Act, Prolonging a Child Abuse Case for Years
A system-level failure exposed serious gaps in child protection. Authorities, police and courts did not intervene effectively in an abuse case. Responsible officials remained in their positions while the child’s suffering continued. One of many hidden cases – the so-called “Suitable” Abuser case (EU/CZ), investigated by Seznam News between 2019–2025
Cinema for Change
A Film Inspired by Documented Cases Within a Profitable Industry
Child trafficking persists in the shadows, enabled by legal loopholes and systemic gaps that allow exploitation to continue. Awareness alone is not enough to address it. Our foundation’s film project, “7 Distant Shores,” is an advocacy-focused production designed to illuminate hidden realities, mobilize responsibility, and advance meaningful systemic reform through global dialogue.

Human Rights Protection in Europe: Where Implementation Fails Children
The EU has strong, expert-led frameworks designed to protect children. Yet a troubling gap remains between these policies and the violent reality millions of children face — a gap driven by inconsistent, fragmented, and flawed implementation across Member States, oversight deficits, and uneven enforcement standards.
