Child Rights Governance

“I am excited beyond words that people have changed their mind about me,” says Pkayprek defiantly. “I am also very happy with what I can do for the children in my community. In the future, I would like to be an NGO worker so that I can help my community and earn enough money to support my family.”

“I never imagined I could have as much confidence as I have today. I feel very excited every time I raise children’s issues with the Commune Committee for Women and Children – an help to solve them,” Reaksa said with a smile.

“To overcome this issue, Save the Children supports children to raise their voices and demand what they need from their government, communities and families,” explains Elizabeth Pearce, Save the Children’s Country Director. “This project will directly involve children and youth in shaping decision making processes that affect them, through improving governance, accountability, inclusiveness and respect for children’s rights.”
