Children's rights movement

The children's rights movement is an effort to help make sure all children are treated fairly and have their basic needs taken care of. It means that children have the right to have a safe place to live, enough food, access to education, and access to healthcare. People who are part of the children's rights movement want to make sure that all children have what they need to live healthy, happy lives. They believe that all children should be protected and have the same rights as adults. They believe that all children, no matter where they live or where they come from, should be treated equally and with respect.
