Children's voice

Child Advisors are children aged between 13 to 17 years. They participate in training and capacity-building programmes, including policy meetings, consultations, and working groups to amplify children's voices and co-create child-friendly resources. Child Advisors provide input and feedback on child-centered policies, programs, and strategies and advocate for policy changes. They also advocate for inclusive child participation in planning and decision-making processes.

Peer Mentors are young people who provide mentorship and guidance to Child Advisors. Most Peer Mentors are over 18, but some children who have been with the project for over one year also take up that role. Peer Mentors design/organise workshops, training, and campaigns to support Child Advisors' work. They are responsible for the design of the nomination and the selection process of the new cohort of children. Peer Mentors contribute to the development of child-centered policies, strategies, and programs by collaborating with policymakers and other stakeholders.
 

We would also like to thank the former child advisors for their commitment in the past: Diana, Fariha, Firman, Jeffrey and Naval.

How did children experience the pandemic?

  • 60% of children and young people said they had access to better education before Covid-19
  • 36% feel safer now
  • 38% felt that they were not heard when decisions were being made about the Covid-19 crisis

In April 2020, Terre des hommes launched the #CovidUnder19 initiative by mobilising a group of young people, child rights activists, civil society organisations and UN stakeholders. The initiative set out to understand children’s views and experiences about life under Coronavirus, and amplify their voices to inform policymakers, professionals working with children, and governments.

In the spring of 2020, the initiative launched the “Life Under Coronavirus” global survey to understand children’s experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic and their views on how they wish to get involved. The survey was designed by the Centre for Children's Rights at Queen's University, Belfast, with children, for children aged between 8 to 17 years, available in 27 different languages alongside an easy to read version.

26,258 children and young people aged 8 to 17 from 137 countries participated in the #CovidUnder19 survey. The results published in December 2020 shed light on their opinions: “Children are not as clueless as you think they are. They have a voice, and no voice should be shut out. Being a child doesn't mean our voices are less credible,” said a 10-year-old boy from the Philippines.


The global results of the survey are available here.
