Last updated: 2024-12-13

HOW TO CHILD RIGHTS It is a platform that facilitates co-creation and peer learning on child rights in practice. It offers a series of practical, high quality, tried and tested tools, guidance and case studies and peer exchanges, to support effective and innovative programming - including advocacy - for children’s rights across the civil society sector, in close collaboration with other actors including academia. Launched in 2022, the Series is developed in close collaboration with various organisations and individuals to support all practitioners within the sector, across organisational, geographic and language barriers.

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.

Partner with us: We look to collaborate with experts and practitioners in the child rights sector to develop new tools and pilot existing tools. Please reach out to us if you have any feedback on the tools, are interested to pilot the tools, or have ideas for a potential collaboration!
