Listen to children
Children deserve to have their voices heard on issues that affect them.
As children grow, so does their capacity to make decisions. Children deserve to have their voices heard on issues that affect them. This is a basic right that all people share: the right to express views and to have those views taken seriously and respected. All too often, though, children are denied this right. All too often, no one listens to children.
The best advocates for children are children themselves. Those who are marginalised, vulnerable or living in poverty are better able to understand how this affects their daily lives, and should be able to fully participate in planning and implementing solutions. Children must have the opportunity to speak out for themselves.
