The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)

The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is an international treaty that outlines the rights every child should have to ensure their well-being, protection, and development. It emphasizes that children should be healthy, educated, and safe from harm, and recognizes their right to have their voices heard. Governments that ratify the CRC commit to respecting these rights and taking action to support children’s growth. It serves as a global standard to promote and protect children’s rights, ensuring they are valued, protected, and given the opportunity to reach their full potential.
