Advancing the rights empowerment and protection of child human rights defenders

This 3-year project by Child rights connect aims to enhance the empowerment enjoyment of rights and protection for child human rights defenders (CHRDs) worldwide. The project takes a dual approach focussed on improving safe and sustainable promotion and defence of human rights by empowered CHRDs particularly girl CHRDs and other groups of CHRDs most deprived of their rights while also increasing effective recognition of CHRDs by duty-bearers and responsibility-holders both contributing to a more enabling environment for CHRDs.

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) improved safe and sustainable promotion and defence of human rights by empowered CHRDs particularly girl CHRDs and other groups of CHRDs most deprived of their rights; and (2) increased effective recognition of CHRDs by duty-bearers and responsibility-holders. The ultimate outcome of this project is the enhanced empowerment enjoyment of rights and protection for child human rights defenders worldwide.
