Join us next week for a #HRC57 side-event on "Children's rights to participate in public and political affairs". This right is explicitly recognized in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), particularly in Articles 12 – 17 covering civil and political rights for children. However, children often face barriers to fully exercise this right. We will hear from children about the barriers they face and how they manage to overcome them. We will explore how to create a conducive environment to enable meaningful children's participation in public affairs. #ShiftingPowertoChildren Child Rights Connect World Vision Terre des hommes foundation Save the Children International

The British abolitionist movement was a collective effort involving a wide range of individuals and actions. It involved politicians, ordinary workers, women, and the voices of formerly enslaved people, all working together to drive change. Elizabeth Heyrick’s advocacy for immediate abolition stands out as a key example of how personal commitment and collective effort can forge significant social progress.
 Reflecting on this history allows us to understand how diverse contributions can drive significant social change. How can these insights inform our approach to contemporary social justice issues? 

Join the discussion.
