Stimulating the debate on children's rights
KidsRights, together with the prestigious Erasmus University, conducts and publishes research through the KidsRights Index, the only global ranking that anually measures how children’s rights are respected worldwide and to what extent countries are committed to improving the rights of children. It comprises a ranking of all UN member states that have ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and for which sufficient data is available, as of 2023 a total of 193 countries are part of the Index.
In 2023 over 3,1 billion people were reached through media.
The KidsRights Index is a means for governments, organizations and children to take action for children’s rights. Based on the results of the Index, KidsRights advises governments on what they can do to improve children’s development.
Providing background information for changemakers
Each winner of the International Children’s Peace Prize is dedicated to a specific child rights theme. KidsRights conducts research on these themes to provide background to our work and that of the winners. This research is published in our KidsRights Reports.
The research has been conducted in collaboration with Leiden University. Governments, aid organizations and children use the research reports in their work.
