Legal Rights of Children

Legal rights of children are protections and entitlements that ensure their safety, well-being, and proper development. These include the right to education, healthcare, and protection from harm, abuse, and exploitation. Children also have rights to express their opinions in matters affecting them and to be cared for by responsible adults. Laws recognize children as individuals with specific needs and vulnerabilities, and aim to support their growth into healthy, independent adults. These rights are upheld by international agreements like the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and national laws designed to safeguard children's interests.
