This study aims to explore the structural relationships among experiences of being heard in home and school settings, self-esteem, and human rights awareness. Among the 2017 NYPI Cross-sectional Survey on the Rights of Youth & Children, 6,405 middle and high school students (47.8% females) were used to conduct a structural equation modeling using Mplus. It was found that children who experience being heard in the home or school display higher levels of self-esteem and awareness of human rights. It was also found that self-esteem is more likely to increase awareness of human rights. Self-esteem was also found to mediate the pathway between the experience of being heard at home or school and human rights awareness. In addition, there was no significant difference in path coefficients depending on whether they received human rights education. Practical implications for promoting home and school environments where children's opinions can be heard were discussed.
