We are the only player governed by children and young people working for children and young people, and we tackle the confluence of poverty, exploitation and abuse in all its forms.
AMWCY activities begin with groups of children, led by themselves, acting according to their needs while respecting the 12 children’s rights defined by the organization.
These include advocacy, the creation of child-friendly spaces, family mediation and community dialogue, and the involvement of parents and leaders.
Representation in international forums such as the UN and AU, involvement in civil networks at various levels, and educating children about their rights and empowerment.
These efforts focus on vocational training, autonomy in job choice and support for literacy and back-to-school programs.
Our 12 rights were defined by working children and young people themselves when the AMWCY was created. They are therefore at the heart of our advocacy.
The right to be taught a trade
The right to remain in the village (and not to migrate)
The right to carry out our activities safely
The right to light and limited work (suited to our age and abilities)
The right to rest when sick
The right to be respected
The right to be listened to
The right to healthcare
The right to learn how to read and write
The right to play and leisure
The right to express ourselves and get organized
The right to equatble legal aid in case of problems
