How to Child RightsShare:
HOW TO CHILD RIGHTS is a series of practical, high quality, tried and tested tools and guidance on new and emerging themes related to children's rights.  The purpose of the series is to support effective programming and advocacy for children’s rights across the civil society sector.  
Photo: 
Developed by civil society for civil society, the series offers condensed and essential knowledge for civil society practitioners who wish to strengthen programming and advocacy for and with children, and stay up to date with new developments in children’s rights.
The series is initiated by Save the Children and developed in close collaboration with Child Rights Connect and a broad range of trusted partners.  The series consists of case-studies documenting ways of working that have proved to be innovative and impactful,  step-by step guidance on how to programme in new and evolving areas, and a selection of short and long practical guidance on critical issues related to the implementation of children’s rights that have recommended by civil society practitioners. See here for a list of all tools develop as part of the How to Child Rights series!
A note on How to Child Right series:  The tools and guidance hosted by the How to Child Rights are not static.  We are looking to continually improve the tools hosted in this series through the active feedback and review of its users, and from user’s experience and learnings from implementing these tools.
