UNICEF encourages young people to know their rights, to speak their opinions, and to actively participate in the life of their community. At the same time, we are working hard to ensure that every young person has equal opportunities, and that those who need help are given the help they need when they need it most. UNICEF's support has created many services for children and youth. YOUR RIGHTS It is very important that more people know about the rights of children. For children's voices to be better heard when decisions are made that directly concern them, Moldova has instituted a Parliamentary Advocate for the Rights of the Child. If you believe that one or more of your rights has been violated, you can contact the Parliamentary Advocate for the Rights of the Child at the Centre for Human Rights in Chisinau by phone at +3732234800 or by sending an email at cpdom@un.md PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY LIFE UNICEF encourages young people to know their rights, to speak their opinions, and to actively participate in the life of their community.
