Child Participation in Humanitarian Action

Child participation in humanitarian action means involving children directly in decisions and activities that affect their lives during emergencies. It recognizes that children have valuable perspectives and rights, and their voices can help improve aid efforts. This can include listening to their opinions, considering their needs, and involving them in planning and implementing solutions. Engaging children respectfully ensures aid is more effective, appropriate, and respectful of their dignity, empowering them to contribute to their recovery and resilience in challenging situations.
