[about a network of young people in Scotland who call themselves Article 12,

and who speak out on issues affecting children and young people’s lives]

The name Article 12 comes from Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights

of the Child, which says that young people have the right to express their views

on any matter affecting them. 

Above all, young people want politicians to listen

to their opinions and to use their experience to build a better future.
