What are the rights of a child? Are they the right to a name? A home? Yes. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child defines it as the following:

"the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth"



Bearing in mind that, as indicated in the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, "the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth",



Why then, are children daily, subjected to hard labor, hunger, homelessness? Why then, are their parents dying from lack of proper medical help? Are the rights of a child to be beaten and abused? Never. all children have the right to sane, humane treatment. All children have the right to a loving family , but most of all every child has the right to family.I am not just referring to two biological parents, but to parents that will love them and care for them as if this child were the most precious object in the world. Family is where you are loved and cherished. It is never where harm is inflicted upon them with the intent to harm. These are the rights of a child.


What do you believe are a child's rights in life?
