Loreen has become a new patron of The World’s Children’s Prize (WCP) — a unique educational program for children that promotes the Rights of the Child and a more humane world. Since 2000, 34,7 million children have participate in the WCP Program and have learnt about the rights of the child, democracy and global friendship. Many of the participating children have themselves had their rights violated and many learn that they have rights for the first time through the WCP. They gain faith in the future and can demand respect for their rights. In a Global Vote, the children decide who should receive their prestigious Award for oustanding contributions to the rights of the child. The candidates are selected by a Child Jury who are child rights experts through their own life experiences. The jury members include former child soldiers, debt slaves, homeless children and child rights advocates. The Prize Candidates become role models for millions of children and use the Award money — this year a total of 100,000 USD —to help some of the world’s most vulnerable children towards a better life.
