KidsRights

KidsRights was founded in 2003 by Marc Dullaert to work with children to create a world in which their rights are guaranteed and they are enabled to realize their great potential. Since then KidsRights provides grass root support to vulnerable children and gives them a voice.

KidsRights gives them a platform to share their ideals with an international audience. The embodiment of this platform, the International Children’s Peace Prize, was awarded for the first time in 2005. Since then the prize is annually awarded to a courageous child who has made an exceptional difference for the rights of the child by a Nobel Peace Laureate.

KidsRights is a sound and efficient organization with impact. “KidsRights needs to resemble a small fleet of rowing boats and not a large and cumbersome vessel.”

In the meantime KidsRights has become an international renowned children’s rights organization and an authority on child participation. Marc Dullaert: “The winners of the Children’s Peace Prize show that children are so much more than passive recipients of aid, they can bring actual change. Children are changemakers and move the world!”
