The CRC (Convention on the Rights of the Child)

The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is an international agreement that sets out the rights every child should have, such as safety, education, health, and protection from harm. It guides countries to ensure children grow up in a supportive environment, with access to opportunities and respect for their views. The CRC emphasizes that children are individuals with rights, needs, and evolving capacities, and that governments and communities have responsibilities to uphold and protect these rights throughout a child's development.
