Kijuko: new era in the implementation of children’s rights begins with ombudsman offices
The implementation of children’s rights is one of the most urgent tasks in our society. But unfortunately they are still trampled on far too often. To counteract this problem, the KiJuKo – Children and Youth Committee – has come up with something special.
With the launch of ombudsman offices, KiJuKo is sending a clear signal: In the future, children and young people should be able to assert their rights in a simple way. The ombudsman offices are part of a new approach that focuses on children and young people.
The aim of the KiJuKo is to initiate a new era in the implementation of children’s rights and to sensitize society to the concerns of children. The creation of ombudsman offices is an important step in this direction and shows that the issue of children’s rights is finally getting the attention it deserves.
The project is a milestone in the implementation of children’s rights and an important contribution to the creation of a better society for all children and young people. The ombudsmen ensure that children are able to exercise and defend their rights if they are violated. The KiJuKo is a step in the right direction and shows that it is high time to finally take children’s rights seriously.
What is KiJuKo?
KiJuKo stands for “Children and Youth Commission and is an organization that advocates for the rights of children and young people. It is made up of representatives of various groups such as students, parents and interested citizens who work together on projects and initiatives to improve the living conditions of children and young people.
KiJuKo aims to promote the implementation of children’s rights and ensure that all children and young people in Germany have equal opportunities for education, health and protection. It is important that the needs and concerns of children and adolescents themselves are heard and taken into account.
With the launch of the ombudsman offices, KiJuKo has ushered in a new era in the implementation of children’s rights. The ombudsman offices serve as contact points for children and adolescents who need help or support. Here they can discuss their concerns and problems and receive support in asserting their rights.
KiJuKo also works to promote the participation of children and young people by giving them the opportunity to express their opinions and participate in decisions that affect their lives. In this way, children and young people can actively participate in shaping their environment and thus have a voice in society.
Ombudspersons: Importance and help for children
Ombudsman offices are independent points of contact that are used in the area of children’s rights. They work to ensure that children’s interests are safeguarded and their rights are implemented. Ombudspersons are very important, especially when children are victims of abuse, bullying or other forms of violence.
The KiJuKo has set itself the goal of starting a new era in the implementation of children’s rights. In this regard, ombudsman offices play an important role in effectively and efficiently addressing grievances in children’s daily lives. An ombudsman office is the first point of contact for children and adolescents who see their rights violated and need help.
Ombudsman offices serve not only to advise and support affected children and adolescents, but also to organize seminars, workshops and training sessions. The aim is to strengthen the rights of children and young people and raise awareness of their importance in society.

Improving the implementation of children’s rights through KiJuKo and ombudsman offices
KiJuKo (Children’s Rights and Young People’s Rights Protection Commission) is an independent commission that works to implement children’s rights in Austria. Ombudspersons are a special measure that KiJuKo has introduced in this context. They provide children and young people with a contact point where they can complain or demand their rights.
The ombudsman offices are active in various areas, such as in schools or youth centers. They strive to support children and adolescents in asserting their rights and to give them a voice. Through this measure, children and young people can communicate their concerns directly to decision-makers, which can lead to faster and more effective implementation of their rights.
The aim of KiJuKo is to continuously improve the implementation of children’s rights in Austria. The commission strives to actively involve children and adolescents in decision-making processes and to take their opinions and needs seriously. The introduction of ombudspersons takes this objective into account and ushers in a new era in the implementation of children’s rights.

Overall, KiJuKo makes an important contribution to the promotion of children’s rights in Austria. The creation of ombudspersons and the active involvement of children and young people provide important impulses to continuously improve the implementation of children’s rights.

Implementation of children’s rights: How KiJuKo works in practice
KiJuKo (Kinder- und Jugend-Koordinationsstelle) is an important institution that helps to implement children’s rights in Germany. But how does KiJuKo work in practice?? Ombudsmen play an important role here. These represent a point of contact for children and young people to whom they can report in the event of problems or conflicts.
The ombudsman offices work closely with KiJuKo in this regard and can draw on the expertise and experience of the coordination office. This enables them to provide even more targeted and effective support in the event of conflicts and problems. Cooperation thus creates a sustainable network that helps to ensure that children and young people in Germany are better protected and cared for.
Another advantage of KiJuKo and the ombudsman offices is that they represent a voice for children and young people. Through their work, they can help ensure that young people’s concerns and needs are better perceived and incorporated into the political decision-making process.
- Children and young people can report conflicts and problems through ombudsmen

- Working together leads to an effective network for the protection of children and young people

Outlook: Sustainable improvement of children’s rights through KiJuKo
The introduction of ombudsman services by KiJuKo marks a milestone in the implementation of children’s rights and can help to improve them in the long term. The ombudsman offices serve as a point of contact for children and young people to communicate their concerns and needs and to play an active role in taking appropriate action.
Through the establishment of ombudsman offices, children and adolescents can be more involved in decision-making processes. This strengthens the participation of young people and reinforces their right to co-determination and expression of their opinions. In addition, KiJuKo can achieve long-term changes in relation to children’s rights through cooperation with other organizations and authorities.
However, in order to sustainably improve children’s rights, KiJuKo must also pursue long-term strategies. This includes, for example, raising awareness and training professionals and decision-makers on how to deal with children and their concerns. Involving children and young people in political decision-making and promoting their participation in schools and other educational institutions is also an important factor.
Overall, the introduction of ombudsman offices by KiJuKo offers a great opportunity to sustainably improve children’s rights and strengthen the participation of children and young people. Through long-term strategies such as training and political participation, KiJuKo can contribute in the long term to ensuring that children’s rights become more firmly anchored in society and are also implemented in practice.
