For Policymakers
Take decisive action on changes to improve children’s futures.
Harmful commercial marketing to children: An emerging policy concern
Harmful marketing is a major, under-appreciated threat to the health, well-being and rights of children and young people worldwide. Children have views on this issue and the policy solutions required, as described in the policy brief.
We gathered a diverse group of young people aged 15-17 to discuss their experiences with commercial marketing, its impacts on children’s health and well-being, and possible policy solutions.
Read our policy brief that summarises their perspectives – and look forward to our future work with children and young people on this critical emerging issue!
