The ELM works alongside partner churches worldwide to promote children’s rights. In schools and churches, the participation of children and young people is encouraged. Training sessions and awareness-raising campaigns on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child are organised, for example in Malawi and Ethiopia. Prevention and protection mechanisms are also an important aspect of international project work in the field of children’s rights.
As a resource, the ELM has published the children’s rights ‘hidden object’ poster shown above in English. Representatives of church organisations from South Africa, Eswatini, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, India and Germany have selected 12 children’s rights to feature on it. The poster is being translated and will soon be available in German and other languages.
