Truth voiced by children. Children’s Report on the respect of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in the Republic of Moldova – 2009

The Children’s Report on the Respect of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in the Republic of Moldova was realized by 25 children – members of the Working Group on Child Rights Monitoring, created by Child Rights Information Centre Moldova (CRIC), in July 2008.The Report contains children’s personal findings, observations, experiences and accounts on the children’s rights violation and respect in the Republic of Moldova, shared during eight workshops organized by CRIC within the project “Children monitor their own rights”, between July 2008 and November 2009. The Report includes also the results of the first study, developed entirely by children, based on the opinions on the respect for children’s rights gathered from their peers. The activity of this Children Working Group from Moldova, with permanent status, represents, according to some international experts “a unique innovative initiative in Europe, worth being developed in other countries”, because “the best experts in the field of child rights are children themselves”
