, INTRODUCTION
• Child rights are the basic human rights specially designed to protect children and
ensure their survival, development, protection, and participation. Since children
are physically and mentally vulnerable, they require special care and legal
protection. These rights guarantee access to education, health, shelter, and a
safe environment, and protect children from exploitation, abuse, and neglect.
In India, child rights are safeguarded through the Constitution, various child
welfare laws, and international instruments like the United Nations Convention
on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), 1989. Ensuring child rights is essential for
building a just, equitable, and progressive society.
