UNICEF is the agency of the United Nations, mandated to advocate for the protection of children’s rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential.
As per the Convention on the Rights of the Child, adolescents have the right to be heard in individual decisions concerning their education, skill training and work, and in collective decisions related to school governance and educational policies and laws.
In the Republic of Moldova, access to local youth participatory structures, such as Youth Councils or Pupils’ Councils, is limited in many districts and particularly inaccessible in the rural areas. The ability of adolescents and youth to participate in democratic governance is affected by the lack of awareness of, and opportunities to participate, limited access to existing participation mechanisms, the exclusion of disadvantaged youth groups and insufficient funding for the Youth Councils that hampers participation.
