The ten basic rights of children
Children have rights !
Summary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
The UN Children's Convention applies to all people who are not yet of legal age and are not yet allowed to vote freely. In Germany, therefore, for all children and young people aged 0-18.
Right to Equality
Equal rights for everyone! Every child is worth the same and all children have the same rights.

Children and young people have the right to have their privacy, dignity, reputation and personal honor respected.
No one may arbitrarily or unlawfully interfere in the private lives of children and young people. The family of every girl and every boy, his apartment and his correspondence are private matters.
