Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life.
NELSON MANDELA

CHILD DEMONSTRATORS Between October and December 2019, 100 Million is asking you to loudly and boldly ask the question “when will every child have justice?”

Globally, we have enough money and knowledge to ensure every child is free, safe and educated. World leaders have been promising these rights for over 70 years – and as recently as 2015, they committed to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals. But governments are not moving fast enough to meet their own commitments. They are failing to deliver justice for every child.

This is not inevitable: it is a political choice. Millions of children and young people are paying the price for government inaction, living and dying in extreme poverty without access to their rights. And that is why we will be asking “when will every child have justice” until decision-makers act.

At current rates, there is no way child labour will be eradicated by 2025. Instead, projections suggest there will still be 121 million children in child labour.
One quarter of adolescents is expected to be out of school by 2030, with the number of out-of-school children projected to be 225 million - similar to the numbers today.
142 million children continue to live in areas with high intensity conflicts, putting them at heightened risk of severe abuses, including sexual violence and child soldier recruitment.

CHANGE IS POSSIBLE.

It's time to demand it. Take the pledge and join the global action.
JOIN US About US

Young people have a long and proud history of questioning power, and of refusing to give in until justice is achieved. Inspired by youth-led campaigns such as March for Our Lives, Fees Must Fall and Fridays for Future, student and youth activists from across the world met in Ghana, June 2019, and decided to join forces and stand together on the following dates to demand every child has justice.

We invite you to join us and work with others in your school, college, university or community to loudly and boldly ask the question “when will every child have justice?” by creating an iconic protest banner. The 100 Million campaign will share ideas and information to help you create something loud and impactful.

Starting on the 17th October we will begin reveal our banners in Rallies for Every Child. Taking place in communities, colleges and schools across the world, each rally will unite as a global cry for the rights of every child to be free, safe and educated.

To ensure our question is answered by those with the power to secure change, we will also be asking you to meet your decision-makers on International Human Rights Day, 10th December, to demand action.
