It's not fair! It's not right!

Have you ever heard someone say that? Have you ever said it yourself?

There are things that every child needs to live a good life and to grow up healthy. Because these things are so important, they are called children's rights. All children are born with the same rights.
It's right for all children to have the things they need.
It's not right for some kids to have them when other kids don't.

Kids have the right to be healthy

It's right for every child to be able to go to the doctor and to have medicine

It's right for every child to have clean water – not just one glass, but enough for drinking, bathing, cooking food, and clean clothes.

It's right for every child to have enough good food – not just one meal a day.

Kids have the right to be safe

It's right for every child to have a place to live where adults can help to keep them safe.

Kids have the right to be kids

It's right for every child to have the chance to go to school and to play and rest.

Kids have the right to be heard

It's right for every child to have the chance to speak up and be heard and to make a difference for other kids.

And you can help to make it right!
