本文探讨了马拉维的儿童参与有关年轻人、流动性和交通、尊重他们的参与权、受教育权和免受剥削的研究。马拉维的研究是在撒哈拉以南三个非洲国家进行的一个研究项目的一个组成部分。这个更大项目的基础是相信孩子们是自己生活的专家；因此，征求儿童的意见至关重要，从而尊重《儿童权利公约》。我们还采用了一种道德方法，即“儿童的最大利益应是首要考虑”。我们反思在不可避免地混乱的现实世界中将道德原则付诸实践的挑战。
This paper explores involving children in Malawi in research about young people, mobility and transport, respecting their rights of participation, education, and protection from exploitation. The Malawi study forms one component of a research project taking place in three sub-Saharan African countries. A foundation of the larger project was the conviction that children are experts on their own lives; therefore seeking children's views was essential, thus respecting the UNCRC. We also embraced an ethical approach, that 'the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration'. We reflect on challenges in putting ethical principles into practice in the inevitably messy real-world.
