The Rights of the Child

The Convention on the Rights of the Child applies to all children, everywhere. Is it observed where you live, at home and at school? Do boys and girls have equal rights? Can you make your voice heard about issues that affect you and your friends? How can things be improved for children where you live, in your country and in the world? Find out how the world’s children are doing and meet the members of the WCP Child Jury, Child Rights Ambassadors and the children they fight for.
