Child Rights Convention

The Child Rights Convention, adopted by the United Nations in 1989, is an international treaty that outlines the rights of children globally. It emphasizes the importance of protecting children's well-being, ensuring their right to education, health care, and freedom from discrimination and abuse. It recognizes that children should have a voice in matters affecting them and that their best interests should be a primary consideration in decisions. Countries that ratify the Convention commit to taking steps to fulfill these rights, promoting a safe and supportive environment for every child to grow and thrive.
