Elise Sijthoff was born in The Hague, Netherlands, in 1961. She founded ChildPress.org in 2017 as a result of her work as a children's rights activist, a research journalist, and international publisher. At the turn of the century she created a flagship health literacy programme for the World Health Organisation which was rolled out to schools in five countries.

‘The Class Moves’ focused on giving children confidence to exercise their physical autonomy. Now International Child Press takes this a step further by empowering children and young people to interrogate power structures and hold decision makers to account.

The young board members of the Children's International Press Association run the ChildPress.org website. This is a platform where young reporters spotlight their individual and shared publications, all focused on reducing the number of children in peril all over the world.

The website features a section called "Our World News" that aims to answer the question: "Who does what for children?" Here, readers can learn about various initiatives that uphold children’s rights, from NGOs to community and government programmes and ideas driven by committed individuals.
