Children and young people constitute half of the world’s population, yet they are often overlooked in decision-making processes. At the Child and Youth Friendly Governance Project, we are dedicated to promoting gender equality by recognizing the importance of actively involving children and young people in decision-making. We firmly believe that addressing existing discrepancies and defining the way forward must be done in close collaboration with children and young people, ensuring their voices are heard and contributing to a more equitable and inclusive future.
