This document that includes the rights and obligations of children was promulgated by various international organizations and arises from the arbitrariness, terrors and vexations suffered by the witnesses of the First and Second World War, where children were also the most affected by the same war and all the atrocities that surrounded it.
Precisely since children do not have knowledge about how to defend themselves in adverse life situations, they must be guaranteed their protection so that at the time some of these conditions are violated, a penalty can be demanded at the criminal level. Therefore, we should all know what the rights of children are and work so that they are respected in all areas of society and denounce when we see that they are not respected.
The UN-approved document includes the 10 rights of children that we will collect in this document.These rights must be assisted and promulgated by the policies of the various national states and by world organizations that guarantee that children and adolescents may have the right to:
Right to life
It means that every child has the right to live. They cannot be killed or physically assaulted and must grow in optimal conditions.
Right to Food
Every child has the right to good food, no child should go hungry or suffer from starvation. As parents we must ensure that this right is respected and meet the nutritional needs of the little ones.
Education rights
All children should receive education that contributes to creating their own future. The child has the right to enjoy the social life that the school gives him. The right to education constitutes an essential element for the social, psychological and economic development of the child.
Right to water
All children must have the right to have drinking water that has been treated in a healthy manner correctly. This right is fundamental to guarantee the health and well-being of children.
Right to health
No child should suffer any illness caused by the carelessness of not providing medical assistance at the right time. Children have the right to enjoy good health so that they grow and become healthy adults.
Right to identity
All children have the right to be an identifiable citizen in society and the nation, that is, to have a name and surname that identifies them. Parents are obliged to give them a name that formalizes their existence.
Right to freedom of expression
All children have the right to express themselves and give their opinions without being vexed for it. Children can participate in the decisions where they are involved.
Right to protection
All children must live in a safe environment, without threat or weapons. Children should grow protected to preserve their physical and psychological well-being. No child should suffer exploitation, discrimination or abuse.
Right to recreation and recreation
Every child having to enjoy social security, which implies developing in a safe environment, must also have the right to a healthy recreation that allows them to develop fundamental social aspects in order to become an emotionally stable adult.
Right to have a family
As children are growing people, they need all the compression and love they can be given. This compression must start from the family where the child develops. It must be an environment of affection and affection.
That is why children should not be separated from their mothers, except in exceptional situations where another of the rights of the child is violated. In that case, the State will be responsible for protecting the welfare of the child by granting obligations to another family member or attending them through care in public institutions designed for that purpose.
Children's rights are a fundamental part of the growth and construction of a better society in the future. The great construction of statutes, laws, reforms both nationally and globally has the sole purpose of ensuring that children can have rules that respond that it grows safely.
However, it is the parents or representatives who are responsible for enforcing these rights and it is through them that they can be enforced.
We have gathered here the 10 main rights of children, but there are many more rights of children that we must respect and enforce so that children have a happy childhood. It is your right, let's respect all the rights of children.
