Children's rights

The world is at a turning point in realising the noble vision of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

 

In September 2015, Member States of the United Nations came together to agree on the new sustainable development agenda. With the adoption of the 2030 Agenda, the world has an opportunity to ensure that children remain at the centre of global strategic efforts.

The Sustainable Development Goals represent the roadmap for public policies and their implementation implies a commitment to a social and political model that can put children at the centre. There are five SDGs that can be considered the most relevant for children: Poverty, Health, Education, Employment and Economic Growth (Inequality).

Poverty: Two and a half million children live at risk of poverty and/or social exclusion in the world. The SDGs are an opportunity for children and a commitment to end poverty in all its forms and dimensions by 2030.
