What is Child Right?
The Convention sets out the rights of children, aged zero to 18 years, and the responsibilities of governments to ensure those rights.
Child rights are based on what a child needs to survive, grow, participate and meet their potential. They apply equally to every child, regardless of ethnicity, gender or religion.
The Convention includes the responsibilities of parents, governments and children themselves to ensure the rights of children are met.
