Child Rights Convention (CRC)

The Child Rights Convention (CRC) is an international agreement adopted by the United Nations in 1989, aimed at protecting the rights of children worldwide. It outlines fundamental rights that every child should have, including the right to life, education, health care, and protection from violence and exploitation. The convention emphasizes that children should be heard and involved in decisions affecting their lives. Over 190 countries have agreed to uphold these rights, making it a crucial framework for improving children's well-being and ensuring they grow up in a safe and nurturing environment.
