Campaign for children

Campaign with us

For children everywhere

At the heart of every campaign

The UNCRC stands for the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and is the basis for all our work, including our campaigning. We are the only organisation working for children recognised by the Convention and we are passionate about protecting the rights of every child.

Among others, the UNCRC outlines that every child has the right to:

  • Relax and play (Article 31)
  • Freedom of expression (Article 13)
  • Be safe from violence (Article 19)
  • An education (Article 28)
  • Sufficient standard of living (Article 27)
  • Health and health services (Article 24)

For over 75 years, we have lobbied and influenced governments to put children first and secure their rights, but we can’t do it alone. You can get involved too by joining us as a campaigner.

When you campaign with us, you join a powerful community of people advocating for children’s rights. Whether you sign one of our petitions or invite your MP to take part in an event, you’re supporting us to call on the UK Government to prioritise children’s rights, both within the UK and globally.

We have a dedicated team working behind the scenes, from our UNICEF UK campaigners to our policy and political affairs advisors. We work hard to ensure that your voice is heard, and that it leads to change for children.
