Children's rights are the fundamental entitlements and freedoms that belong to every individual below the age of eighteen. These rights recognize the special vulnerability of children and the need for specific protections and provisions to ensure their well-being and development. Encompassing a wide spectrum, these rights address a child's civil, political, economic, social, and cultural life, ensuring they can grow to their fullest potential in an environment of dignity and respect.
