Mission Statement
Kids Rights Canada aims to advocate for and safeguard the rights of children in Canada, grounded in the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Through education, advocacy, and community engagement, we empower children’s voices so they are recognized, valued, and included in society’s decision-making processes.
Objectives
- Deliver accessible and age-appropriate civic and child rights education to children across Canada to equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary for meaningful civic participation.
- Promote awareness of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) among children, emphasizing both their rights and corresponding responsibilities
- Empower children to engage in formal decision-making processes in alignment with Article 12 of the UNCRC, which upholds the right of children to be heard in matters affecting them
