Amplifying Children and Young People’s Voices in Asia

Every child has the right to participate and be heard, especially on matters that directly affect their lives now and in the future. Children must be given spaces to freely express their views, and these views should be respected and given due weight. This enables children to lobby decision makers, inform processes, and influence policies. Their involvement also leads to significant progress as it empowers them to campaign for issues and causes they believe in.

Save the Children in Asia has played a pivotal role in advocating for children’s rights and ensuring their meaningful participation in decision-making processes. From locally led provincial discussions to national, regional, and even global platforms, this comprehensive approach has allowed Save the Children to enable the participation of children and mainstream children’s voices across all available channels.
