Empowering Young Voices: Celebrating 30 Years of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Unstoppable Pursuit of a Society Where Every Child’s Opinion Matters
This year marks 30 years since Japan ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which stipulates that children are entitled to the same rights as adults.
We will look back at the current state of children’s rights protection and take a deep dive into how to spread the Convention on Rights in society from the perspective of the right to express opinions!
