Eurochild, with 15 other NGOs, is advocating to create a new Children's Rights Intergroup in the European Parliament.
Within this campaign, European citizens were asked to vote for candidates committed to becoming champions of child rights, and called on the European Parliamentary candidates to support children's rights, but also to listen to children’s voices and act on children’s views.
300 candidates signed onto the Child Rights Champions campaign. You can find an interactive map of the candidates here.
