legal frameworks for children's rights

Legal frameworks for children's rights are laws and agreements that protect children's well-being, ensuring they have access to education, health, safety, and protection from exploitation. The most prominent is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which sets international standards guaranteeing children's rights worldwide. Countries ratify such agreements into national laws, creating enforceable rights and responsibilities for governments, communities, and families. These frameworks aim to promote children's development, safeguard them from harm, and respect their evolving capacities as individuals, ensuring their best interests are prioritized in legal decisions and policies.
