As Etkiniz, we have provided support to dozens of civil society organisations working in the field of children’s rights for their work in the field of monitoring and advocacy.

We wanted to take a look at the outputs on many different topics such as the right to mother tongue, the right to play, the right to education, and refugee children’s access to their rights, on the occasion of #20November World Children’s Rights Day.
