All children have basic Rights, no matter who they are or where they live. Yet, despite all the talk of 'Human Rights', what are they and what do they actually mean for us?

Unicef, the United Nations Children's Fund, has drawn up a list of the essential Rights all children should be entitled to, called the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Yet despite this, most people do not know what these Rights are and many adults around the world fail to respect them. The documentary on this page explores the issue of child Rights.
