Save the Children US

Children's rights are human rights. 100 years ago in 1924, world leaders endorsed the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, drafted by Save the Children's founder Eglantyne Jebb. She was the first person to boldly declare that children are people, not the possessions of adults, and therefore deserve to have their own fundamental rights. But, despite progress over the past 100 years, today, children’s rights are being eroded and neglected. At Save the Children, standing up for children’s rights is our past, present and future. And we won't stop until every child's rights are respected, supported and protected worldwide.
