Checking children’s rights
The United Nations will soon check what the UK Government is doing to make sure children and young people’s human rights are respected.
The examination will be carried out by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child in Geneva, Switzerland. It will hear from:
- The Government
- Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) like children’s charities
- Human rights bodies AND ....
- Children and young people.
The Get ready for Geneva project
Get ready for Geneva will take your messages to the UN. Our project is special because:
- It’s being led by children and young people
- It’s all about children and young people’s human rights
- It will gather children and young people’s views and push for change
- It lasts for three years (until March 2010) – loads of time for us to make a really big impact!
The Children’s Rights Alliance for England
The Children’s Rights Alliance for England (CRAE) tries to make sure the Convention on the Rights of the Child is always followed. We want children and young people to be respected and taken seriously.
