Rights Of The Child Commission Child Rights Ambassadors GY

A child’s emotional well-being is just as important as their physical health.

Families are encouraged to create safe spaces where children can express their feelings without fear of judgment.

Checking in, listening, and offering reassurance can make a lasting difference in a child’s life.

Positive parenting helps children feel safe, respected, and emotionally secure.

Simple acts such as listening, encouraging, and spending quality time with children can strengthen trust and build healthier relationships within the home.

Children thrive best in environments filled with patience, understanding, and love.

Today, the Rights of the Child Commission, in collaboration with UNICEF, hosted an advocacy training session with youths from across the different regions of Guyana in attendance. The session provided a valuable platform for young people to engage, share perspectives, and strengthen their capacity to advocate for issues in their communities.

Shannae Trotz presented on children’s rights in the context of Guyana, while Suphane Dash-Alleyne presented on climate priorities. Ms. Mahogany from UNICEF Guyana and Suriname also delivered presentations on key advocacy concepts.

Stay tuned for Day 2 of the workshop.

Families play a critical role in shaping the emotional, social, and mental well-being of children.

A safe, loving, and supportive home helps children grow with confidence, security, and hope for the future.
