The right to participation means every child has the freedom to express their views and take part in decisions affecting their lives.
Four fundamental rights under this include:
1. The right to freely express opinions in all matters concerning them.
2. The right to be heard and for their views to be given due weight in family, school, and community settings.
3. The right to seek, receive, and share information freely through speech, writing, or other media.
4. The right to join groups or associations and take part in peaceful gatherings.
These rights help children build confidence, learn responsibility, and become active citizens in society.
