Engage

Directly from children

Authorities and other decision-makers have a responsibility to include children’s viewpoints in decisions that affect them. Adults are responsible for ensuring that children are able to share their viewpoints and contribute to decisions. There are many ways to do this. Here, we show examples of children under 18 expressing their viewpoints directly through film.
