503 -Child Rights and Mainstreaming

The implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child can only be realized if the rights of the child are considered as a whole and all rights are taken into account in all actions. Child Rights Mainstreaming is possible through the systematic application of a child rights approach to everything we do and the promotion of children's rights.

For this, we must first accept that children are entitled individuals; this acceptance must be reinforced by creating spaces that enable and support children to know, exercise and claim their rights. It is also important that we accept children as key actors in both their own lives and civil society, and often as human rights defenders. In fact, civil society organizations believe that the mainstreaming of children's rights is an integral part of a human rights-based approach; It should advocate that gender equality and intersectionality should go hand in hand and should be treated as everyone's responsibility.

"Children's Rights and Mainstreaming" is designed to enable civil society organizations working with, for, or on all issues concerning children to place children's rights in their organizations as a mainstream and leave no one behind.
