About me

Introduction	The Concerned for Working Children, has worked on the issue of children’s participation as fundamental rights within the gamut of children’s rights even before the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was drafted and adopted. Though we are a very small organisation, we have managed to have a very large influence on Global Policy and Programmes. In the past 30 years we have taken small steps to enable children to realise this right and have made progress. We have managed to impact on child rights policy and programming both locally and globally, bringing the right to children’s participation and self-determination into focus. Yet, we have a long way to go and so much more needs to be done.
