  1. CHILD RIGHTS & YOU!!! `It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings’ - Mahatma Gandhi By: Mrs. Azmi Khan ECE Batch – I

  2. I am a CHILD…

  3. And so am I…..

  4. And so is anyone below the age of 18 You could be… *A girl or a boy * A small baby or a teen * Rich or poor * A Hindu or a Muslim, etc * Born to a businessman or a famous actor * Black skinned, or white or brown all over * Needing special things - like a wheelchair, or hearing aids * In any situation that’s completely different from everyone else IT DOESN’T MATTER! If you are below 18 you are a child, as important as any other child

  5. Let’s see if you can spot all the children in these pictures….

  6. Did you know that children have rights?

  7. YES, CHILDREN HAVE RIGHTS!! Many groups of children and adults from all over the world discussed what children’s concerns are. Then the United Nations came up with a list of rights For all children all over the world in 1989.

  8. Can you tell which of these are RIGHTs and which are not? In each pair choose the one that is a RIGHT- Food OR Ice Creams To be protected from ever getting a cold OR to be protected from ever getting kidnapped Personal computer OR Education To share my opinions OR to do whatever I want

  9. How did you know? Because as a child, you instinctively know that RIGHTS are… Universal- everyone has the same rights- all need food, education etc Intrinsic- rights belong to you, they are inside of you, no matter what circumstances you are in- whether you live in an apartment or a house or in a hut, you have the same rights. Essential- no one can/should have to do without rights. Our rights help us live full lives. Interrelated to each other- e.g. right to food is related to education. The more educated you are the better your chances of earning enough to always have plenty of food. Linked to responsibilities- adults are responsible for giving children our rights- our parents, neighbors, relatives, society, government, etc

  10. So, what are your rights? SURVIVAL PROTECTION DEVELOPMENT PARTICIPATION

  11. All children have the right to SURVIVAL To live Get good health care Get good food regularly Have a name- your own identity To have a nationality - belong to a country that will care for you

  12. All children have the right to PROTECTION To have a family that will protect you To be safe from every harm- physical or mental To have your own privacy

  13. All children have the right to DEVELOPMENT to education rest and leisure recreation

  14. All children have the right to PARTICIPATION To express yourself freely To choose your own set of beliefs To know about things related to your life To be a member of associations To enjoy your own culture

  15. Here is a story about a girl who does not get all her rights… Here is a story about a girl who does not get her rights…

  16. Hi! I am Aastha from Mumbai, India, and this is my story… I am 8 years old I live with my parents, 2 sisters, 1 brother and my grandma- that’s 7 of us! We live altogether in a small hut next to the railway station My father sweeps the streets and my mother cleans people’s homes. I have never been to school

  17. This is my story… There’s a court near my home- and everyday I see the lady lawyers looking all busy and important They must have gone to school for sure! Even to college I think! Sometimes I dream I’ll be a lawyer too and make sure no one comes to destroy my home.

  18. This is my story… My parents work hard to earn a living, but they still can’t afford to send us all to school even though they really want to send me to school So I stay home to take care of the house and my baby sisters. My younger brother goes to school…but he might have to stop soon. My uncle has got him a job at a tea stall.. My brother doesn’t want to leave school.

  19. This is my story… I have big dreams for myself and my family and I know that many people all over the world want to help us get our rights.

  20. Even though Aastha’s life is very different, you still have a lot in common with her… YOU are all children YOU were all born equal YOU have rights – as children CAN YOU NOW TELL ME WHAT YOUR RIGHTS ARE? Is Aastha’s story similar to yours?

  21. Aastha is just one example… Half of India’s children do not get sufficient food to eat. Half of India’s children who are old enough to, do not go to school. There are millions of children in India who are forced to go to work instead of school. In India there are many children who do not get their rights

  22. Thank You
