Elections shape the future of nations — yet children, who make up a significant share of the population, are often left out of political debates and decision-making. Their rights to education, health, protection, and wellbeing risk being overlooked, while electoral periods can expose them to exploitation, violence, and misinformation.
This initiative seeks bold civil society partners to champion child-sensitive advocacy during a critical electoral moment. Selected organisations will elevate children’s voices, promote ethical and neutral media coverage, and safeguard young people from harm. Activities will include consultations with adolescents, development of child-led manifestos, journalist training, voter education campaigns, and psychosocial support for children affected by election-related stress. The program prioritises inclusion, resilience, and durable solutions that ensure children’s rights remain visible before, during, and after elections.
💡 Substantial multi-year support available for organisations ready to lead child-focused advocacy across communities.
