INVITATION

In the 30 years since the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the lives of millions of children have been

improved through the progressive recognition of rights and fulfilment of obligations enshrined within the Convention. It

inspired governments to

change laws, policies and practices. Protecting and improving Child’s rights proved to be a driven

force of sustainable development and growth in several part of the world.

Despite remarkable progress, the Convention is still not fully implemented or widely known and understood. Millions of

children continue to experience abuses of their rights.

They are denied adequate health care, nutrition, education and protection from violence. They are forced to leave school

and work, get married, enrolled in wars...
