2015 CO051 News on Voice of the Child Phase I

Colombia has endured decades of internecine conflict between armed groups including the national army, guerrillas, drug mafias and paramilitary organisations. Children and young people in large parts of the country continue to live under the constant threat of violence. This project promotes the awareness and understanding of child rights to stimulate children to participate in dialogues about (self)protection. Through training in human rights and communication skills, children learn to participate in media and express their thoughts on a national level.
