CHILD RIGHTS
Millions of children suffer every year due to violations of child rights. The United Nations has defined 42 Rights of the Child, but these are still violated every single day. From child labour to poverty, discrimination and more, children in this world are growing up suffering. Article 27 defines a right that should be obvious and is terrible that it even needs to be acknowledged. "You have the right to food, clothing, a safe place to live and to have your basic needs met. You should not be disadvantaged so that you can't do many of the things other kids can do."
