United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
In 1989 world leaders came together and made a historic commitment to the world’s children. They made a promise to every child to protect and fulfil their rights– the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Contained in this treaty is a profound idea: that children are not just objects who belong to their parents and for whom decisions are made, or adults in training. Rather, they are human beings and individuals with their own rights. The Convention says childhood is separate from adulthood; it is a special, protected time, in which children must be allowed to grow, learn, play, develop and flourish with dignity.
