Philosophy

This book is one in a series, produced in association with Save the Children UK, that looks at the impact of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The books explore key issues affecting real-life children. Each title includes first-hand accounts of the children's own experience and shows how, with the help of Save the Children projects, they are turning rights into realities. This title looks at the right of all children to live in safety, whether they are poor or have to work for a living, whether they are caught up in a war or live in a violent area, or whether they are a boy or a girl. It examines the obstacles that children sometimes have to overcome to achieve this right.
