United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of the Child

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is a treaty adopted in 1989 that outlines the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights of children. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring children's well-being, protection, and development. Countries that ratify the treaty commit to protecting children's rights, including the right to education, health care, and freedom from abuse. The UNCRC recognizes children as active participants in society and highlights the responsibility of adults and governments to advocate for their needs and interests, ensuring that children can grow up in a safe and supportive environment.
