What happens when you give young people the opportunity to lead?

Communities grow stronger. Children’s rights move higher on the global agenda. Governments pay attention. Ideas become action. 

For more than 20 years, KidsRights has empowered young changemakers to create lasting impact. Together with our supporters, partners and global network, we’ve helped amplify young voices, strengthen children’s rights and inspire change across the world. 

Every number on this page represents something bigger. A child who was heard. A community that found hope. A young person who refused to give up.

Every number starts with a young person

Statistics matter because people matter. Behind every headline is a young person who decided to take action. Someone who saw a problem, believed things could be different and inspired others to help create change. 

 

KidsRights exists to make sure those ideas don’t stop at the local level. We help young changemakers reach decision-makers, strengthen their work with evidence and connect them to opportunities that help their impact grow. 

 

Because one idea can change a community. One voice can change the world. 

Stories of change

A voice that reached the world

When Bana Alabed received the International Children’s Peace Prize, her message reached more than 1.5 billion people around the world. 

 

But the impact didn’t end with global recognition. With continued support from KidsRights, Bana has expanded her work to help children affected by conflict, proving that when young people are given a platform, they continue creating change long after the headlines fade.
