Who Protects Children’s Rights? Working Children as Agents in Child Rights Governance - PRIF BLOG

Global child rights and child labour regulation aim to protect children from exploitation and abuse and to empower them to claim their rights. Yet organisations designed to help children, especially working children, often treat them as the passive beneficiaries of protective interventions that may alleviate hardship in the short-term but reinforce disempowerment in the long-term. Evidence from organised working children’s movements in the Global South challenges this assumption. These movements actively implement, adapt, and influence child rights frameworks. This blog article shows how these movements can themselves provide protection and argues that child protection and rights actors should move beyond consultation-based participation toward recognising children as co-producers of protection and governance.
