Talk:Save the Children

message: I have change making to make to complete a sentence
I have deleted "the world’s largest independent movement for children" since I believe it to be false. Save the Children seems to be much smaller than Unicef but I guess Unicef isn't considered independent. However on the most recent figures I have available (2004) it seems to be significantly smaller than SOS Children's Villages both in terms of number of countries (130 versus 114) and also turnover (it looks like global turnover is US$771 million in 2004 versus 652m Euros for SOS).

replies: text: Look harder. The figure of 296m Euros is the international transfer figure. Can you find the equivalent figure for STC? There is a further 50m Euros SOS raised in the third world itself and around 350m Euros paying for the operations in the first world looking after children essentially on the part of the state. I approached the CEO of STC about the claim (I've got the email somewhere) and his response was that for 2004 he agreed SOS was higher but that was a snapshot (which is fair: SOS seems to be bigger when the dollar is weak, smaller when dollar is small). Frustratingly though the 2005 and 2006 consolidated figures for SOS don't seem to be published yet.  --BozMo talk 13:53, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

gives a figure of $807m for SOS and $919m for Save the Children but again unfortunately this compares 2004 for SOS (only figures available, got an email for that too) with 2005 for STC. Its pretty marginal. --BozMo talk 13:59, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Fair point, it needs to be clarified. I think it would be generally agreed that in the 1990s development agencies became very wary about the use of graphic images of suffering for fundraising, out of regard both for the dignity of those portrayed, and a belief that continued use of such images led to stereotyping. However, it's difficult to find an easily accessible source for this. Here is something that might help: Imaging Famine

message: This is shocking: Save the Children on May, 2008, stated that UN peacekeepers and aid workers in Ivory Coast, southern Sudan and Haiti, were molesting children as young as six. Most victims suffered sexual exploitation and abuse in silence, resulting in unreported and unpunished crimes.news.bbc.co.uk, Peacekeepers 'abusing children' --Florentino floro (talk) 10:54, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Shocking but I am not sure that Save the Children's involvement (as whistle blower mainly) means that it should be in this article. I will leave it for a bit whilst it is topical anyway. --BozMo talk 21:34, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello! I'm a student at Syracuse University, and I will be contributing some information to this page in the coming weeks. Just wanted to introduce myself and let everyone know what kind of information I will be adding. My class is based on TNGOs and thus we are working on Wikipedia articles that address those kinds of organizations. I am relatively new at this, so constructive criticism will be accepted. Thanks! talk   —Preceding undated comment added 20:34, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  RBreen: Add Save the Children USA Affiliation  

message: This is not my area of expertise, so like probably many others I came here after viewing the video on http://www.motherhood2012.net/ (and reading the State of the World’s Mothers 2012 report) for background information.
In my opinion, since readers are coming from many different countries, it could be better if this became an overview article about Save the Children organizations (it would explain that they are independent legal entities working towards a common goal, the article might also describe or hint at differences in the approach taken by the individual organizations) and then additionally there would be separate articles about
* Save the Children International  http://www.savethechildren.net/ the article already exist
* Save the Children Federation (headquartered in the US, since it is the owner of highly visible http://www.savethechildren.org/ )
* The Save the Children Fund (http://www.savethechildren.org.uk/  since it is the original one, and the current article would be an almost ideal after redoing Structure and accountability section since that part seems to me to be about Save the Children International and not The Save the Children Fund)
* any other country organization would be listed in the overview article, and get their own article if/when required/written
As that would be a major change, I am not just doing it, but writing about it here. Absolwent (talk) 00:00, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

message: “Following the grotesque award to child-killer @TheBlairDoc Tony Blair by Save the Children all right thinking people should withdraw support.” Despite being taken from Wikipedia link ‘41’, this quote from British MP George Galloway has twice been deleted. Why does Wikipedia continue to block this comment?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.150.54.215 (talk) 11:51, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I've not deleted it, but it's just too much. Polemical commentary, however on target it may be, has no place in an encyclopaedia. Blair is undiluted scum, no doubt about it, but it's not the purpose of this article to megaphone the fact. Cheers! --YeOldeGentleman (talk) 18:46, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

message: Ex-Aid Worker: Abuse Of Refugee Children On Nauru Was Mostly Ignored 
"But Viktoria Vibhakar, a former aid worker for Save The Children Australia, says abuse is a serious problem at the detention camp and has been largely ignored. She was hired to work in Nauru in 2013, and spent a year coming and going to the island.
"One of the first things I got, which was the most striking, was a deed of confidentiality, which was a couple pages and it basically said, you cannot say anything about what goes on in this facility and if you do, you are liable for two years in jail for each disclosure." "

message: Save the Children has apparently absorbed Street Kids International some time in 2015. IDK whether this automatically merits a merger, but it is beyond my knowledge so my hope is some Wikipedian will do whatever is required in this situation. :^) 173.84.210.56 (talk) 16:37, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Weak oppose to the proposal, on the grounds that it isn't necessary to merge the pages just because the organizations have subsequently merged. It depends on whether or not Street Kids International had independent notability prior to the merge. My feeling from the references is that it did, and given that its focus was different to that of Save the Children my feeling is that it could stay separate. Klbrain (talk) 16:39, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

message: The paragraph on QAnon is not notable enough for inclusion. It is a distraction from the history of a major and important NGO. It is minor and tangential, especially considering that QAnon is a US phenomenon and STC is primarily a UK charity.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.232.249.32 (talk) 14:59, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
