Line of action: childhood and adolescence on the agenda.
With the aim of reinforcing policies for children and adolescents by promoting transparency, access to information and the active participation of children and adolescents, three initiatives will be implemented:
Transparency of the National Honorary Advisory Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents.
Open Data for transparency and the leading participation of children and adolescents.
The initiative will promote the implementation of transparency and accountability mechanisms within the National Honorary Advisory Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents. A virtual platform will be developed to gather information from various institutional sources, including the Executive Branch, the Judiciary, and Parliament. Data on the territorial coverage of services, judicial statistics, draft legislation, and the Council's own documentation will be made available. This tool will allow for visualization of the functioning of the rights protection system and will enable a channel for consultation and dialogue between the Council and the public, fostering more direct and transparent interaction.
Progress will be made in opening up data, allowing people to learn about institutional programs, budgets, and results in detail. The generation of open data will be accompanied by interactive dashboards that facilitate understanding and exploration of the information, adapted to different levels of digital literacy.
Efforts will be made to integrate the participation of children and adolescents in the various initiatives developed through these commitments.
Finally, the creation of the Digital Tools Observatory for Children and Adolescents is proposed—an open and collaborative space designed to generate and facilitate access to technical information about digital platforms that impact children. Through collectively developed criteria, the observatory will evaluate video games, social media, and educational platforms, identifying risks and highlighting best practices. Its comprehensive and ongoing approach seeks to empower families, educators, and communicators with practical guidance for the safe, ethical, and healthy use of technology, promoting informed and responsible decision-making.
By integrating institutional transparency with mechanisms for active participation, the foundations are laid for a democratic culture that recognizes children not only as recipients of policies, but as fundamental actors in building a more just and equitable society (UNICEF 2022).
