“ “Rights" are things every child should have or be able to do.
All children have the same rights. These rights are listed in the UN Convention on the
Rights of the Child. Almost every country has agreed to these rights. All the rights are
connected to each other, and all are equally important. Sometimes, we have to think about
rights in terms of what is the best for children in a situation, and what is critical to
life and protection from harm. As you grow, you have more responsibility to make choices
and exercise your rights. ”
