We have been learning about the ABCDE of rights in school this week.
The Rights Respecting Committee has been working hard this term to make a video to explain the first principle from the UNICEF Convention of the rights of the child: Non-discrimination.
These four principles contribute to a general attitude towards children and their rights. They are based on the notion that children too are equal as human beings.
The affirmation of the rights to play underlines that childhood has a value in itself; these years are merely a training period for life as an adult.
How do we grant children equal value and at the same time guarantee them the necessary protection? The answer lies in the implementations of the four general principles. Together they form nothing less than a new attitude toward children. They give an ethical and ideological dimension to the convention.
Article 2 (non-discrimination)
The Convention applies to every child without discrimination, whatever their ethnicity, sex, religion, language, abilities or any other status, whatever they think or say, whatever their family background.
