Realising the rights of young children: progress and challenges
As the Convention on the Rights of the Child (crc) marks its twentieth years anniversary in November, this edition of Early Childhood Matters turns the spotlight to progress and challenges in making rights a reality
When thinking about rights in relation to very young children, the crc must always be considered in conjunction with General Comment No. 7 (gc7) of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child. gc7 sets out authoritatively on how the crc should be interpreted when it comes to the very young children. We start this edition with a refresher on what gc7 is all about.
