Saarland: New law strengthens rights of children and adolescents!

In Saarland there are exciting changes for the rights of children and adolescents on the agenda. The state parliament adopted the "Law to participate in young people in Saarland (SJMBG)" on Wednesday in Saarbrücken. This law has the potential to significantly expand the political participation options for the younger generation.

The decision to strengthen the rights of young people is seen as a significant step towards more democracy and integration of young voices in decision -making processes in Saarland. The Minister of Labor, Social Affairs, Women, Youth and Health described this as the "youth policy milestone" and underlined the importance of an active commitment to young people in political matters.

What innovations does the law bring?

With the SJMBG, children and adolescents should not only be better involved in political processes, but also receive a greater say in matters that affect them directly. For example, a forum is created in schools and youth organizations in which the opinion of young people is heard. This forum enables young people to express their views and promote an active help of shaping their surroundings.

In addition, information on political issues should be prepared in a youth -friendly form, so that these are easier to understand for young people. This could be done through workshops, training courses and information events that are specially developed for the requirements and interests of children and adolescents.

The advance for this change of law does not come out of nowhere. More and more social actors are calling for young people to consider political decisions. The conviction that young voices have to be heard grows in both politics and in civil society.

A particularly important aspect of this initiative is to promote democratic consciousness. To achieve this, it is necessary that the young people understand the importance of their participation and actively enter political dialogue. The new law can be an important tool to realize this goal.

Overall, this law could have far -reaching effects on the participation of young people in Saarland and gives an impetus for similar reforms in other federal states. The initiatives to strengthen youth participation are a clear sign that politicians perceive and take the needs and wishes of youth.
