Democracy promises that every citizen matters.
That is why it is called democracy, right?
But what happens when thousands of children grow up and their lives seems not to matter and they are excluded from the very systems designed to protect them?
As Nigeria continues to strengthen its democratic institutions, an important question remains: Are our most vulnerable children benefiting from democracy, or are they being left behind?
Join us for an insightful LinkedIn Live conversation:
🎙️ From the Streets to the Ballot Box: How Nigeria's Democracy Is Failing Its Most Vulnerable Children
This thought-provoking session will explore critical questions that affect the future of our nation:
• Do street-connected children benefit from democracy at all?
• Whose responsibility is their welfare—government, communities, or individuals?
• How can citizens use voting, advocacy, and civic engagement to demand better policies for vulnerable children?
• What does true representation mean if entire groups of people are excluded?
At Voice to the Street (VTS), we believe that democracy should not end at the ballot box. It should translate into quality education, protection, opportunity, and dignity for every child—especially those living and learning on the margins of society.
This conversation is for policymakers, civil society actors, educators, development practitioners, students, parents, advocates, and every Nigerian who believes that no child should be invisible.
