Children’s Rights Matter On and Off the Field
Children’s rights matter on and off the field. 
Every child has the right to play, and to be safe, supported and heard.
As the world comes together for the FIFA World Cup Final, let’s remember that children are not simply players or participants. They are rights-holders!
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child recognizes children’s right to have a voice in decisions that affect their right to play, rest, and participate fully in cultural and recreational life.
Coaches, sport organizations, families, and communities all have a role to play. We must create environments where children feel respected, included, protected, and empowered. Check out the Landon Pearson Centre for more info on why children’s rights matter.
Every child. Every game. Every right.
