The main outputs achieved from the 'Child Human Rights Defenders' project were the following: 1. Children participating in the project were trained on UN Charter for the Rights of the Child, the ACRWC, the South African Constitution and campaigning. 2. Participant children were mentored and can show they understand how to execute campaigns that are successful.Therefore, giving children the tools for engaging in their community and country. 3. A successful rally for children's rights was actioned in the Alexandra township community. 4. Materials were developed for sharing with peers; topics included children and their human rights. 5. Radio shows were held for disseminating information about how to engage the public and other children about human rights. More sustainable, long-term outputs include: 1. Launch of the "Amplifiers"¨ 2. Engagement of children with department of justice and constitutional development officials - in order for the children's voices to be represented in advancing South African democracy.

The proposed project seeks to show that interventions over longer periods of time are needed to ensure that children and youth are empowered, have access to platforms and are able to engage with their peers, duty bearers and relevant stakeholders in the promotion and protection of human rights. This is in line with the “Declaration on the Right and Responsibility of Individuals, Groups and Organs of Society to Promote and Protect Universally Recognized Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms” – frequently abbreviated to “The Declaration on human rights defenders”. The project will seek to engage SCSA’s current and Alumni children’s networks to address knowledge gaps relating to the Constitution (Chapter 2), Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), United Nations Convention on the Right of the Child (UNCRC) and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) amongst their peers. This will ensure that children can claim their rights and also exercise their right to defend human rights. They will not only be enabled but also empowered to do so. Through education and capacitation of advocacy tools, a generation of children in areas of South Africa will claim their rights and also exercise their right to defend human rights. They will not only be enabled but also empowered to do so. They will also enjoy their rights without encountering hindrances of them and without unnecessary or unjust restrictions. The project has the overall objective that children make submissions to human rights institutions to claim their child (human) rights.
