Children’s Rights

Children around the world are entitled to certain rights, regardless of their race, gender, or nationality. These rights are outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989. The Convention is the most widely ratified human rights treaty in the world, and it outlines the civil, political, economic, social, health, and cultural rights of children.
