Realising the Rights of Indigenous Children
Realising the Rights of Indigenous Children is crucial for their well-being and development. Efforts such as MTSP Focus Areas 2006-13 aim to support Indigenous child rights through interventions like young child survival, basic education, HIV/AIDS support, child protection, and policy advocacy. The report by Innocenti and Forum reinforces the importance of addressing the specific needs of Indigenous children to ensure their rights are protected. Partnering with communities and governments is essential to monitor and promote Indigenous rights effectively.
