With the proliferation of international texts on children’s rights, it is sometimes difficult

to follow everything. What rights are children entitled to enjoy? How should we react if

these rights are violated? Are there international mechanisms which can be activated to

sanction these violations?

This guide aims to answer these questions. It is a reference for anyone in contact with

children and more specifically for street workers who are direct witnesses of these

violations.

The publication includes various chapters :

• It recalls the international and regional standards which are applicable in the field of

children’s rights;

• it describes the principles governing children’s rights and recalls some of the rights

they should enjoy;

• it sets out the various international mechanisms so that the rights outlined are fully

respected;

• it explains concretely how workers can activate these international mechanisms and

bring their knowledge to the attention of the international bodies.

In order to make the link between theory and practice, this guide contains various specific

examples of reactions and procedures used in various European countries.
