This submission represents the contribution of CRIN to the thematic report of OHCHR on the protection and realisation of children's rights for the global review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable developement by the High Level Political Forum. Children are concerned and affected by all of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), whether reduction of poverty, hunger, inequality or climate change. Promoting a holistic approach to children’s rights, one where children are not only seen as part of vulnerable groups but are treated with respect as individuals instead is fundamental to any poverty reduction initiative. This submission focuses on some of the significant issues that risk being underdeveloped, mainly access to justice, private sector accountability, violence against children and toxic chemicals.
