United Nations Child Rights Convention

The United Nations Child Rights Convention (UNCRC) is an international agreement that sets out the fundamental rights of all children. It emphasizes their right to education, protection, healthcare, and to be heard. The convention aims to ensure children grow up in safe, supportive environments and are treated fairly, regardless of background or circumstances. Governments that sign the UNCRC commit to respecting, protecting, and fulfilling these rights, promoting children’s well-being and development while prioritizing their best interests in policies and actions.
