Why did the uncrc start?

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) started to address widespread concerns about the treatment and rights of children globally. Recognizing that children require special protection and care due to their vulnerability, the UNCRC aimed to establish a comprehensive framework for children's rights, encompassing their right to health, education, and protection from violence and exploitation. Adopted in 1989, it was a response to the need for a unified approach to safeguard children's welfare and ensure their voices are heard in matters affecting them.
