Children Rights

Children have basic human rights simply because they are human beings. Children's rights aim to protect children and meet their developmental needs. These rights include the right to health, education, family life and protection from abuse. The Convention on the Rights of the Child defines a child as any human under 18 and outlines rights such as access to parents, identity, education, healthcare, and protection from discrimination. Interpretations of children's rights range from autonomy to freedom from physical, mental and emotional abuse.

Children rights

Children are young human beings. As human beings children evidently have a certain moral status.
There are things that should not be done to them for the simple reason that they are human. At the
same time children are different from adult human beings and it seems reasonable to think that there
are things children may not do that adults are permitted to do.

Children rights

Children’s rights are human rights. They protect the child as a human being. As human rights,
children’s rights are constituted by fundamental guarantees and essential human rights
Children's rights are the human rights of children with particular attention to the rights of special
protection and care afforded to minors.

Children’s rights include the right to health, education, family life, play and recreation, an adequate
standard of living and to be protected from abuse and harm. Children’s rights cover their developmental
and age-appropriate needs that change over time as a child grows up.
Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) 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."[2] 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, sexual orientation, gender
identity, national origin, religion, disability, color, ethnicity, or other characteristics. Interpretations of
children's rights range from allowing children the capacity for autonomous action to the enforcement
of children being physically, mentally and emotionally free from abuse, though what constitutes
"abuse" is a matter of debate. Other definitions include the rights to care and nurturing
