The analysis of child poverty is complex, as children are seen as dependent on adults and not actors of their own development. Never less, the relationship between children and development has undergone a major evolution since the adoption of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, prioritizing children’s well-being and their voice. The aim of this paper is therefore to contribute to the discussions on the fight against poverty, taking into account the children’s rights approach. To this end, a case study of Malagasy children’s multidimensional poverty using a children’s rights approach will be adopted through an analysis of their perceptions following COVID- 19.
