Can kids lead a country? Inside a parliament run by children!

Does your country have a children's parliament? How do these platforms shape the next generation of politicians and leaders? In The Gambia, a dedicated children's parliament gives young voices a platform, with 105 members — all under the age of 18 — actively engaging in governance and advocacy. Our GirlZ Off Mute teen reporter, Lena E. Igweanyiba, attended one of their sessions to get an inside look at how these young parliamentarians debate, make decisions, and influence change.
