Children from every part of our country deserve to be heard, acknowledged, and empowered to raise their voices while recognising their own rights.
That’s what drives us to celebrate Child Rights Week 2025 with full action! The goal is simple: help children learn about their rights, speak up with confidence, and engage with their communities.
To mark the week, ActionAid Bangladesh, in collaboration with AVAS, organised a series of joyful events for children in Kalapara, Patuakhali, on 9 and 23 October. One of the highlights was a children’s talk show titled “Listen to Children, Work for Children”. There, child representatives sat face to face with local government officials, teachers, and invited guests. They asked thoughtful questions about education, health, safety, climate change, and child protection, and shared what they hope for in a safer and better tomorrow.
The celebrations also featured rallies, debate competitions, discussion sessions, sports and cultural activities, followed by a prize-giving ceremony.
ActionAid Bangladesh continues to work tirelessly to build a safe and just society for every child, whether in cities or remote communities. As part of this commitment, we ensured that children from local communities could also benefit from Child Rights Week and grow more aware of the rights they hold.
