Eurochild have published a blog about Article 42 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which requires governments to make those rights widely known to both children and adults.
The blog highlights the importance of raising awareness, as children can only claim their rights if they know them and adults can only uphold those rights if they understand them. It also shares how Eurochild is helping to bring Article 42 to life through child-friendly resources, children’s participation in EU decision-making and professional training.
