“…One young leader from Sri Lanka exemplified this understanding by explaining that she attended a Global Summit in Sweden to represent the voices of many children, not only her own personal views: I and another child from Tanzania participated in the panel discussion and represented all children; representing the kind of the people who are participating from all over the world and to get an idea about the issues that we face and the solutions that we have kind of arrived at. Children and young people consequently considered representation to be a form of empowerment in which they acted on behalf of other children and young people, representing the latter's views from the standpoint of being children and young people themselves (for similar findings see also Cuevas-Parra, 2020;Tisdall & Cuevas-Parra, 2020). In fact, children and young people who participated in the study considered their own experiences to be an essential component of their representation role.…”

Children and young people are increasingly participating in events organised by international organisations. In spite of a growing body of research on children's participation in decision-making, little is known about their experiences and the perceptions of adults who attend. This article compares the experiences of 16 children and 12 adults who participated in high-level global events. Three themes were identified, Representation, Capacity and Impact. Findings suggest that while children and adults identified similar opportunities and challenges for meaningful participation, children's perceptions of their engagement differed from adults' in that they were more likely to be positive about the value of their contribution.

“…This Joint General Comment states that child marriage is considered to be forced marriage given that one or both parties of such marriages do not express their full, free and informed consent. The document also notes that child or forced marriage may affect the life of the child and risk their enjoyment of the right to freedom of movement (Tisdall & Cuevas-Parra, 2020).…”

<div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p class="AbstractText">Every child is a human being who possesses the right to justice, freedom, and opportunity to develop regardless of nationality, race, religion, or skin complexion. These rights of children are guaranteed by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. However, its reality indicates otherwise, as children are often the victims of exploitation. One of the worst such kinds of child exploitation is child marriage. This study aims to analyze the legal protection against child marriage in Indonesia. This research is conducted through the normative analysis of various written sources. This study concludes that the Indonesian Child's Act even has a provision that stipulates the obligation of parents to prevent early marriages. However, that the law is somewhat effective in Indonesia. Unfortunately, the fatal flaw is the low-threshold provision that enables parents to request dispensation for early marriage. This shatters all the efforts to eliminate child marriage. Thus far, the Indonesian Government also has shown its reluctance to ever amend discriminatory provisions in the Indonesian Marriage Act related to the practice of child marriage despite numerous recommendations from the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div>

Dalam penelitian tersebut Tisdal dan Parra menemukan bahwa pentingnya "bayangan hukum" untuk membangun modal politik anak-anak yang mendukung ruang dan waktu bagi anak-anak untuk bergerak sejalan dengan tuntutan pendidikan (Tisdall & Cuevas-Parra, 2020).…”
