Giving children a voice against violence – the role of faith actors

When Deaconess Juliet Eneh spoke at the Joint Learning Initiative on Faith and Local Communities’ (JLI) recent series on child participation, her message was clear: when children have a voice, violence against children goes down.  It was this reasoning that led her to help establish Christ Care.

“Release the yellow butterflies,” young people set sustainable goals

Colombia is an enchanted land of magical realism and contrasts. It’s a country in which millions of creatures coexist in peace, making it a true paradise of biodiversity.

The World’s Largest Lesson , an initiative to introduce children to the principles of the Sustainable Development Goals, is inspiring children to take action.

Child-led social accountability: ingredients for success

Children are not only at the heart of social accountability, but social accountability is also in the hearts of children. Children can be active participants, or perhaps better, players in the social accountability game, rather than just passive spectators and beneficiaries.
