Why was the Convention on the Rights of the Child created and implemented?

The Convention on the Rights of the Child was created to establish a comprehensive framework for the protection and promotion of children's rights worldwide. Adopted by the United Nations in 1989, it aims to ensure that children receive the care, protection, and opportunities needed for their development, regardless of their background. The Convention addresses issues such as education, health, and protection from abuse, recognizing children as individuals with their own rights. Its implementation seeks to hold governments accountable for prioritizing the well-being and rights of children.
