Child Participation

Participation is one of the four guiding principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which outlines your rights.

The work of the Special Representative places children’s rights at the center, highlighting the role of children as agents of change. Children should be considered equal partners when realizing their right to live free from violence. Because of this, her team develops child-friendly resources, consults with children, explores different ways to amplify the actions led by children, and seeks to engage with them permanently.
