 WHAT ARE
CHILDREN’S RIGHTS?
Children's rights are the human rights of children with
attention to the rights of special protection and care afforded to
minors. The 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child
defines a child as "any human being below the age of eighteen
years, unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is
attained earlier." Children's rights includes their right to
association with both parents, human identity as well as the
basic needs for physical protection, food, universal state-paid
education, health care, and criminal laws appropriate for the
age and development of the child, equal protection of the
child's civil rights, and freedom from discrimination on the
basis of the child's race, gender, national origin, religion,
disability, color, ethnicity, or other characteristics. The field of
children's rights spans the fields of law, politics, religion, and
morality.

FACTS ABOUT
CHILDREN’S RIGHTS
VIOLATIONS
•About 1 billion children ages 2 to 17 are estimated to have
experienced physical, sexual, or emotional violence or
neglect during 2015.
•152 million children are engaged in child labor; 73 million
work under hazardous conditions.
•41 percent of girls in least-developed countries are married
before age 18. Of the 47 least-developed countries, 33 are in
Africa.
•A World Bank study indicates that as many as three in 10
children with disabilities have never been in school.
•Children with disabilities are almost four times more likely
to experience physical violence.
 Child labor, child marriage, children
recruited into armed conflicts, and
other forms of oppression deprive
children of their rights. Children are
also deprived of their rights when
their birth is not recorded, so they
don’t have a birth certificate, or when
they are forced to flee conflict.
Millions of children are being
exploited through mentally and
physically dangerous work that
involves hazardous workplaces and
other exploitative acts such as
slavery, drug trafficking, prostitution,
and armed conflict. These

IS PROGRESS
BEING MADE
IN
PROTECTING
CHILDREN’S
RIGHTS?
Yes, improvements in child mortality,
healthcare, and school attendance are
some of the signs that children’s rights
concerns are receiving greater
recognition. These are aspects of
human development that give children
a brighter future.
Globally, progress is also being made
against some of the worst violations of
children’s rights. For example, in the
past decade, 25 million child marriages
have been prevented, according to
UNICEF, the U.N. children’s agency.
