Child Rights Approach
• Children’s rights are human rights – respect for human dignity regardless of age.
• Children’s rights shift the focus of attention – to the individual child and to children as a group in society.
• Children’s rights are comprehensive and inter-related – no free speech without prohibition of violence, no right to education without an adequate standard of living.
• Children’s rights are legal rights – they clarify responsibilities and hold those responsible accountable.
• Children’s rights empower children – they require a new culture of interaction with children based on their recognition as subjects and bearers of rights.
