Youth Advise Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba
Children under the age of 18 have the right to be heard. That is why UNICEF the Netherlands works with children every year to create the UNICEF Youth Advisory Report. This year, for the first time, children from Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba took part as well, so their views on children's rights on the islands are now part of the report.
The Youth Advisory Report
Every year, UNICEF the Netherlands conducts a survey among children and youth and publishes the results in the Youth Advisory Report. The report sets out what children under the age of 18 really consider important. It covers topics such as bullying, safety and the housing shortage.
At Jongeren Prinsjesdag, just before Prinsjesdag, on September the 14th, members of the UNICEF Youth Panel present the Youth Advisory Report to Members of the House of Representatives and discuss the findings with them. They share their concerns, along with opportunities and solutions for a range of social issues.
We reached the children from Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba through the survey on the three islands and an online focus group. Their findings are now available in a short edition of the Youth Advisory Report.
