Associazione Bambini Senza Sbarre - ONLUS

View Activities

Areas of expertise & Fields of activity:	Social Development: Social policy
Geographic scope:	National
Country of activity:	Italy
Mission statement:	The mission of Bambinisenzasbarre is raising awareness in civil society so that it will bear the burden of human rights, ratified by all international conventions, in order to help minors separated from their imprisoned parents, so that the right of being a parent can be guaranteed, culturally assimilated and made part of the system of values. The prison is the place where this right is less protected, with harmful consequences for the community; as a matter of fact statistics confirm that the children of imprisoned parents have higher chances of going to prison, drop school, suffer from deviance, unemployment, illegality and social discomfort. That is why actions of help and support of the parental relationship during imprisonment are to be seen as interventions of social prevention. This intervention has a double value in prevention: it helps to prevent emotional and relational problems of the child and their negative effect on his/her psychological affective development and helps the parent maintaining his/her self-esteem as long as he/she is able to go on carrying out his/her parental role.
