FINDING MY MAGIC - Children's Rights Series - Human Rights

Knowing one's rights is a necessary first step for both children and adults alike, to begin to address the inequality, injustice and discrimination that exists in societies around the world.

Finding My Magic is based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The CRC is the first international agreement which recognizes a range of human rights for children and has been signed by virtually every country in the world including Australia. Adopted by the United Nations in November 1989, the CRC spells out the human rights that children around the world are entitled to. These include: the right to survive; to develop to the fullest; to be protected from harm, abuse and exploitation; and to participate fully in family, cultural and social life.

Each episode in Finding My Magic reflects a different children's right from the CRC and aims to inspire children to not only know about their rights, but stand up for them and the rights of children around them.
