Itīs

the 20th anniversary of the Convention

on the Rights of the Child. In 1989, world leaders decided that children
needed a special convention just for them because people under 18 years old
are often neglected in the human rights debate. The leaders wanted to make
sure that the world recognized that children have human rights too.

As a result, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) was developed.
It is the worldīs most widely ratified human rights treaty.

It spells out the basic human rights that children everywhere have: the
right to survival; to develop to the fullest; to protection from harmful
influences, abuse and exploitation; and to participate fully in family,
cultural and social life. 

 

Take a look at the CRC leaflet (PDF) and think about what it means to you.

Then make a video showing what child rights mean to you, whether it be in
the world at large, your country or your community. Maybe there is an
example of how childrenīs rights are not being fulfilled. Or maybe you want
to show a situation where children are getting the rights they deserve. Tell
us what you think. 

 

The winning video will be used in the CRCīs 20th anniversary celebration and
made available for broadcast around the world for the 2010 The International
Childrenīs Day of Broadcasting. 

 

Video content must be related to childrenīs rights, either by illustrating
one of the rights or referencing childrenīs rights as a whole. Videos must
capture the mission of Voices of Youth - to promote and protect every
childīs right to know more, say more and do more about the world they live
in.
