Child-Friendly Cities Initiative

The Child-Friendly Cities Initiative is a global effort to make cities safe, inclusive, and supportive for children and teenagers. It encourages local governments to work with communities to prioritize children’s rights, such as access to education, health, safe play areas, and participation in decision-making. The goal is to create urban environments where young people can thrive, feel protected, and actively contribute to their community's development. By fostering collaboration among governments, families, and organizations, the initiative helps build cities that are nurturing and equitable for children and their families.
