The exhibition “Austerity Bites: Children’s Voices” is the result of a cooperation between the Council of Europe and the European Network of Ombudspersons for Children.

The Council of Europe

The Council of Europe is the continent's leading human rights organisation. It includes 47 member states, 28 of which are members of the European Union. All Council of Europe member states have signed up to the European Convention on Human Rights, a treaty designed to protect human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
The programme "Building a Europe for and with children" was set up to secure and promote children’s human rights, and to promote children from all forms of violence.
