The series is illustrated with top-quality reportage photography and produced on a fast-track basis to ensure that each book is as up-to-date as possible. Children's Rights considers the issues surrounding the rights and freedoms of children. It looks at how violence, child labour, discrimination and exploitation affect those rights, and examines how access to education and health care can help children strengthen their position in societies across the world.
