It is important that we, as children, ensure that our voices are heard. We must advocate for our rights, and participate in decisions that affect our lives. This is why we ourselves must know what children's rights are.

Voices and Visions: Children's Rights is for YOU - anyone interested in children's rights.

It is for you to learn about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, an international treaty that protects children's rights.

It is for you to discuss controversial issues, voice your opinions and advocate for changes to be made in your society, so that the world is a better place for children.

It is for you to realize what children's rights really are, and how they have to go hand-in-hand with the rights of others. We don't want to deprive others of their rights while asserting ours.

Should you have any feedback for Pauline, Justin or Lauren, the creators of this site, please sign our guestbook and write to us through our forums.
