@PreranaATC @Pratham_India @Viplafoundation @EduMinOfIndia @asercentre @EducoInd @MagicBusIndia Transform schools through student voices! Student-led clubs, participatory budgeting, curriculum feedback & school management committees. When learners become decision-makers, schools thrive!

@PreranaATC @AnantKumarAsth1 @LeherIndia @CCDTrust @ApnalayaTweets @SNEHAmumbai @KarunyaTrust @HopeandHomes @MFIndia @Salaam_Baalak Family democracy starts at home! Set regular family discussions, create age-appropriate choices, listen without judgment & validate feelings. When children feel safe to speak up in families, they grow confident to speak up everywhere! #PositiveParenting #ChildParticipation

@PreranaATC @AnantKumarAsth1 @Catalysts4SA @UNICEFIndia @SanjayUN @Arpan_CSA @CCDTrust @IJM @WVIndia @CRYINDIA @IACN6 @SoledadHerrero Legal frameworks championing child participation are growing! The African Charter on Children's Rights, EU Strategy on Rights of the Child, & national youth policies all mandate meaningful youth engagement. These aren't just documents - they're tools for change! #ChildRights

@PreranaATC @AnantKumarAsth1 @Catalysts4SA @UNICEFIndia @SanjayUN @Arpan_CSA @CCDTrust @IJM @WVIndia @CRYINDIA @IACN6 @SoledadHerrero UNCRC Article 12 leads the way: Every child has the right to express their views! From regional treaties to national laws, legal frameworks worldwide recognize children as active rights-holders. Time to turn these powerful protections into everyday reality. #ChildRights

@PreranaATC @MMC_NGO @ApnalayaTweets @PrathamPCVC @arzindia @_prayaas_ @priti_patkar @PurnataOrg @Epic_Foundation Inclusive CP means reaching ALL children. We must actively remove barriers, adapt methods, and create safe spaces for marginalized voices. True participation leaves no child behind - from rural communities to children with disabilities. Every voice enriches the dialogue.

@PreranaATC @SNEHAmumbai @UBS @dasra It's about empowering children as active decision-makers! From student councils to youth forums, we must create safe spaces where young voices shape their future. Real change happens when we move from consultation to collaboration. #ChildParticipationMatters #ChildRights

[Arpan @Arpan_CSA]

@PreranaATC @SNEHAmumbai @UBS @dasra Implementing policies like the Child Protection Policy (CPP) which is based on various Indian legal frameworks, ensures a protective framework for children to participate in decision-making processes without the fear of being judged or exploited.

@PreranaATC @LeherIndia @CCDTrust @Salaam_Baalak @Arpan_CSA @PrathamPCVC @KarunyaTrust @DaySupport65267 @MMC_NGO @UNICEFIndia @ApnalayaTweets CP means giving children a real voice in decisions affecting their lives - from family choices 2 policy making. It's not just listening, but actively involving them as agents of change. When children participate, better decisions are made for everyone!

@AmazonHelp Already shared details twice and haven't received any response in the last 40 hrs

[Rashmi Taylor (she/her) @TaylorRashmi]

@amazonIN pathetic delivery & customer service. I'm waiting for a refund of a broken item since June 13 & now your CS does not have a response on when I can expect a refund. They say the item was lost in transit/ merchant did not receive the order/ received wrong order.

[Rashmi Taylor (she/her) @TaylorRashmi]
