Child Participation and Awereness Raising The results of two Eurobarometer surveys of 2008 and 2009 showed that 76% of children ss interviewed were not aware of having rights and 79 % did not know who to contact in case of need. When asked what action the EU should take to promote and protect the rights of the child, 88 % of respondents indicated that the EU should provide more information to children about their rights in an accessible way. Full recognition of the rights of the child means that children must be given a chance to voice their opinions and participate in the making of decisions that affect them.
