Children's Voices Matter!
When Aotearoa New Zealand went to the polls on 14 October 2023, Save the Children worked to ensure the voices of children and young people were heard. Their views and opinions matter – and ensuring those voices are heard is a fundamental right under Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. They may not yet have a vote, but the decisions made today will impact their lives now and into the future. As we navigate major global challenges now and in years to come, we need to consider children’s views and ensure political decision makers are acting in the best interests of children.
Download our Children’s Voices Report to hear who the children voted for, why they chose their candidates, and what they want to see from the next government of Aotearoa.
