Rights for all
All children are equally entitled to rights.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child is that living luminous document that enshrines the rights of every child without exception to a life of dignity and self-fulfilment.

However, these rights are often denied. Ten million children die before their fifth birthday every year, mostly from preventable diseases.
Getting children’s own voices heard is crucial if all children are to achieve their rights. Over the last five years, 15 million children around the world have joined the Global Campaign for Education to demand that all children have the right to go to school.
