It doesn't need to be this way.
At World Vision, our dream for every child is simple: to thrive without experiencing violence of any form. We are intent on raising awareness and resources to this end.
The It Takes You and I to End Violence Against Children campaign will empower citizens of the world towards a global movement that is committed to keeping children safe at home, in school and online by looking at the ways in which we can uphold the rights of children.
What Can I Do?
What are the Rights of a Child?
Under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), children have 42 rights. These rights are based on what a child needs to survive, grow, participate and develop their full potential. They apply equally to every child, regardless of ethnicity, gender or religion. It is the responsibility of parents, governments and children themselves to ensure the rights of children are met.
