Civil Rights of Minors

The civil rights of minors refer to the legal protections and freedoms that ensure children and young people are treated fairly and with respect. These rights include access to education, freedom from discrimination, privacy, and protection from abuse or neglect. While minors may have limited legal capacity compared to adults, laws aim to safeguard their well-being, promote their development, and give them a voice in decisions affecting their lives, often through guardians or representatives. Overall, these rights balance a minor’s needs with society’s obligation to protect their health, safety, and future.
