Introduction
On 20 November – World Children’s Day – Eurochild released its flagship report on children in need titled “Children’s Realities in Europe: Progress & Gaps”, which compiles information from 57 Eurochild members in 31 countries across Europe. This sub-report sheds light on how child participation is funded and examines how children’s views are integrated into various initiatives. It also explores barriers to meaningful child participation and the right of the most marginalised children to participate. After laying out the information coming from the ground on the state of child participation in Europe, Eurochild offers its recommendations to European governments and European Institutions.
