With Children

Children are no more residual categories who are just part of the families or an appendage to the adults. They are young citizens with their own rights which are recognized by the global community. Children's right to participation is upheld by the Convention on the Rights of the Child and right to participation implies a right to expression, right to be heard, right for their opinion to be seriously considered in matters relating to them. They are no more just victims of violations but are potential liberators of themselves.

In this perspective, children's right to association and making their voices heard becomes important. They must their right to express their opinion on the prevailing situation and spell out the new situation which they would visualize. They must have a right to participate in the process of changes and creation of new structures and society for themselves. It is no more sufficient to work for children. It is absolutely necessary to work with them in the search and struggle for a better world.
