CHILDREN’S RIGHTS

Children's rights are being violated on a massive scale in the world in many ways, because they are subject to violence, exploitation, abuse, poor health, and displacement by armed conflicts, lack of education and many other forms of violation of their rights, despite the fact that the Convention on the rights of the child has existed since 1989.

About 51 million births go unregistered every year in developing countries. About 218 million children between 5 and 14 years are involved in child labor. In developing countries, more than 60 million women aged 20-24 were married before the age of 18 years, of which 31 million live in South Asia. It is estimated that 1.2 million children are victims of trafficking every year. More than 300,000 child soldiers, some only eight, are exploited in armed conflicts in more than 30 countries.

Approximately 143 million children are orphans of one or both parents. Some two million children believed that they are exploited through prostitution and pornography. Forty million children under 15 years suffer from abuse or neglect in their care that require health and social care.

This demonstrate that the abused of human rights does not affect to old people, also all children have the same opportunity to have a worthy life and respect.

Sometimes many people think that little boys and little girls do not have sad times or they do not suffer for anything, but the real life is that they suffer the same abused that and old person suffer and also they have to live worse things. In many countries like Mexico, the children are considering merchandise because they are sold by bad people to buy drug. And those children have to work or in the bad cases some persons sold their organs.

In our opinion that violation can become in the worse act of the world because children are innocent and they have to have a happy life without sadness. They have to study and they have the right to have a family. With this we do not say that the abused of human rights of old person or young are good, all the violations of human rights are wrong and all international organization and Estates must be join to work hard to decrease the abuses.
