Networking allows Stairway to collaborate with other organizations of similar concern and ambition to broaden the impact of child rights advocacy. And with less aligned organizations and institutions Stairway works to strategically influence the position of child sexual abuse as an issue demanding immediate attention. Although Stairway provides direct service work for its children locally, the extent to which it can be of direct service on a globally limited. Therefore, to influence what we hope will one day be a global impact, Stairway adopts a collaborative advocacy approach - identifying networks and initiating partnerships in the hope that together we will soon see change.
