Children have the right to survive, learn, and be protected, to have their voices taken into account, and to influence the laws and policies which affect their lives and futures.
100 years ago, Save the Children's founder, Eglantyne Jebb, was the first person to articulate that children are people, not the possessions of adults, and therefore deserve to have their own fundamental rights.
She shared her vision with the world when she drafted the historic Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child.
Right now, escalating war and violence, and the devastating impact of the climate crisis mean, whether at home or at school, life for children is extremely tough.
Despite progress over the past 100 years, today, children’s rights are being eroded and neglected. Inequality is growing. This is a child rights crisis.
