Child rights refer to the fundamental human rights that every child is entitled to from birth until the age of eighteen years, irrespective of gender, caste, religion, ethnicity, disability, or socio-economic background. These rights ensure that children grow in an environment that promotes their physical, mental, emotional, social, and moral development. In the field of social work and social development, child rights form the foundation for protecting children from exploitation, discrimination, neglect, and abuse while enabling them to participate actively in society. The concept of child rights is based on the principle that children are not merely dependents but individuals with inherent dignity and rights. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), adopted in 1989, is the most comprehensive international instrument that recognizes children's rights. India ratified the Convention in 1992 and has since taken several legislative and policy measures to ensure the welfare and protection of children. Child rights are generally classified into four broad categories. The first is the right to survival, which includes the right to life, adequate nutrition, healthcare, clean drinking water, shelter, and a standard of living necessary for healthy growth. Governments and communities have a responsibility to reduce infant mortality, provide immunization, and ensure access to essential healthcare services. The second category is the right to development. Every child has the right to education, early childhood care, recreation, cultural participation, and opportunities for emotional, intellectual, and social growth.
