"Every child has the right to privacy" (Art. 10)

"Every child has the right to choose their religion" (Art. 9)

Children have the right to choose their own religion and beliefs. Children have the right to freedom of thought. Parents or guardians should help children decide what is right, wrong or best for them.

@UN_Women Even those who were forced out of school due to early pregnancy and early marriage, poverty and child labour. All girls. All women.

@hrw All children should have access to education at any stage of their childhood: poor, vulnerable, with disability, street children, they all deserve an opportunity to learn and grow in a safe environment.

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

Education is a fundamental human right!

On #InternationalDayofEducation, we want to remind governments that all children should have access to education.

"Every child has the right to form connections with friends and gather with others as allowed by the law." (Art. 8)

"Every child has the right to express their views."
"Adults must listen to every child’s views and take them seriously." (Art. 7)

The African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC)

[Kisedet NGO @kisedet]

"[...] Many children can’t get routine vaccines and other healthcare services. They may be unable to attend school or register for exams. As a result, their future job opportunities are extremely limited, which makes them more likely to live in poverty."

"Every child has the right to a name and identity" (Art. 6)

"Children have the right to be named and to have a birth certificate. They have the right to a nationality (to belong to a country) in which they are born or from countries where they live."
(ACRWC)

[Kisedet NGO @kisedet]

Without legal proof of identity, children are left uncounted and invisible.

"Without a birth certificate, children are unable to prove their age, which puts them at a much higher risk of being forced into early marriage or the labour market, or recruited into armed forces."

"Every child has the right to live, and the government is responsible for protecting and promoting every child’s rights." (Art. 5)

Are we listening enough to our kids? Are we really paying attention?

[Kisedet NGO @kisedet]

All people should do what is best for every Child

When adults make decisions, they should think about how their decisions will affect children. If children can say their opinions, then it should be heard and taken into consideration by relevant groups or the government. (Art. 4)

[Kisedet NGO @kisedet]

"All children have these rights - no matter who they are, where they live, what their parents do, what language they speak, what their religion is, whether they are a boy or girl, what their culture is, whether they have a disability or whether they are rich or poor." (Art.3)
