Children’s Rights refer to the fundamental freedoms and protections that are entitled to individuals under the age of 18. These rights are grounded in the principles of human rights and are outlined in international documents, most notably the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), adopted in 1989. Children’s rights include the right to life, development, and protection from abuse, exploitation, and neglect. They also encompass rights to education, health care, freedom of expression, and participation in decisions affecting their lives. The concept emphasizes that children are not merely passive recipients of adult care but active participants in society with their own rights and interests. The promotion and protection of children’s rights aim to ensure that all children can reach their full potential in a safe and nurturing environment. These rights are essential for fostering the well-being and dignity of children worldwide.
