Children as defenders of human rights: a study on Council of Europe member states

Child human rights defenders want governments to start listening to their opinions, ideas, and proposals in the development of laws and policies. This is one of the main findings of a new Council of Europe report: “Children as defenders of human rights: a study on Council of Europe member states”.

This is the first ever study of national challenges and responses regarding the recognition, protection and empowerment of children acting as “child human rights defenders” in Council of Europe member states. It is based on the responses to a survey received from 20(*) out of 46 Council of Europe member states, as well as consultations with 85 children across Europe, supplemented by desk research.
