Paragraph
Paragraph text
The survey yielded important information about national and regional initiatives supporting meaningful participation of children in processes and initiatives. In some cases, these have led to the adoption of significant children's declarations in the framework of regional consultations on violence against children. A number of countries promoted the establishment of children and youth councils and parliaments and introduced policy and legal provisions on children's participation, while supporting the involvement of children in the design and implementation of laws and policies through consultations, seminars and workshops.
