A guide for Governments and children rights advocates on involving children and young people in ending all forms of violence
The right to be heard and the right to live free from all forms of violence are inseparable in their affirmation of children as people with feelings, views and inalienable human rights.
This publication offers guidance and practical examples to show the varied roles children can play in implementing the overarching recommendations of the United Nations Secretary General’s Global Study on Violence against Children. Building on the Committee on the Rights of the Child's keenly awaited General Comment on the child's right to be heard (2009), the publication considers different conceptions and practical approaches to participation, as well as the choices and challenges facing adults engaged in (or preparing to be engaged in) the implementation of children's rights.
