Happy #UNCRCScotland Commencement Day today! I started campaigning for UNCRC Incorporation when I was in my teens. While no longer a young person (🥲) I’m now celebrating as someone who works to support rights-based approaches. Immensely proud of all who got us here and beyond.

A new dawn for children's rights

As the sun rises over Scotland, @together_sacr is flying the UN & Scotland flags from the summit of Ben Nevis to celebrate children's rights becoming law through the #UNCRCScotland Act.

Happy UNCRC Commencement Day to children across Scotland🎈

1000s of people have been part of developing the Scottish Human Rights Bill.

Live from our event: The Scottish Human Rights Bill: Priorities, Promises and People, our director Mhairi spells out the reasons for why incorporating international human rights is non-negotiable.

The Scottish Human Rights Bill is on the horizon with hopes to incorporate even more rights into Scots law - Why does incorporation matter? Suki’s new blog is up with some timely reminders https://t.co/94Tuo3nZfk

If you are feeling sad and hopeless that is completely understandable, but it's also a luxury we can't afford right now. Here's a list of some great organisations helping on the ground, just as a handy guide:
