Children’s Rights

Are not all people, regardless of race, religion, color, needs, and skills, entitled to live their rights? Many children around the world are not safe and do not have a place to live where their basic needs for food, water, clothing, safety, and protection in extreme climates are met; that is, they do not receive help when needed and/or are not free to live as themselves or have access to quality education that respects them for who they are. Why are all children not considered equal to others? This chapter was developed with SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 16 (Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) in mind.
