The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is an international agreement that sets out the rights every child should have to be safe, healthy, educated, and respected. It emphasizes that children’s well-being is a priority and adults, governments, and communities have a responsibility to protect children from harm, support their development, and listen to their views. The UNCRC aims to ensure all children grow up in conditions that allow them to reach their full potential, with rights to life, education, play, and protection from exploitation and abuse.
