This week we are looking at two articles – Article 6 and Article 24
Article 6 – life survival and development
Every child has the right to life. Governments must do all they can to ensure that children survive and develop to their full potential.
Article 24 – health and health services
Every child has the right to the best possible health. Governments must provide good quality health care, clean water, nutritious food, and a clean environment and education on health and well-being so that children can stay healthy. Richer countries must help poorer countries achieve this.
Why not try some of these activities at home?
Activity 1
Think about your local area. Are there any issues or challenges to the environment, such as air pollution, litter or lack of green spaces?
Discuss how these things might affect children’s rights
Activity 2
Take a look at recent Earthshot Prize winners. What would you like to invent to solve today’s environmental challenges?
