General Principles

[articles 2, 3, 6 and 12]

All rights apply to all children, and guarantee them above all, the right to life. Anyone who takes actions on behalf of a child will always act in the best interest of the child. All children have the right to proper survival and development, as well as to freely express their own opinions.

How has Save the Children been working towards this?

Save the Children has unparalleled experience in fighting for children's rights. We work with children to find lifelong answers to the problems they face and are big enough to make an impact and reach policy makers and wider audiences in rich and developing nations.
