Small Voices, Big Concerns: A Child Rights Approach to HIV/AIDS

Summary: This guide is intended to assist EC officials
and
other policy makers in taking a child rights
approach.

This guide is intended to assist EC officials and other policy makers in
taking a child rights approach. It aims to demystify the approach and
contribute to forming a common understanding of both the concept and
application of a child rights approach across the EU institutions. The guide
provides a generic overview of the child rights approach and focuses
specifically on HIV/AIDS as a cross-cutting issues which threatens the
survival and development of millions of children across the world.

HIV/AIDS not only denies them the right to health, it also impacts on a
multitude of other rights including the right to education, parental care and
even protection from sexual abuse. The plight of orphans and children
made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS is therefore an urgent concern which
requires action at all levels and across all sectors.
