Title
Canadian Coalition for the Rights of Children / Coalition Canadienne pour les Droits des Enfants
Description
History
Shortly after the unanimous adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child at the United Nations General Assembly in November 1989, nine Canadian organizations concerned with the well-being of children at home and abroad came together to promote the signature and the ratification of this unprecedented international document.
The World Summit for Children, held in September 1990, led to an expansion of the Canadian Coalition for the Rights of Children whose members worked hard to strengthen Canada's leadership role. In recognition of the Coalition's contribution, a young person chosen by her peers, as well as the Chairperson of the Coalition, participated in the Summit as part of Canada's official delegation.
The Coalition has grown to include over 50 national and provincial non-government organizations (NGOs) committed to promoting and protecting the rights of children in Canada and abroad.
