Children's rights ensure all mokopuna are heard and have what they need to grow up loved, safe, healthy, and happy. The Government has committed to the Children's Convention to make Aotearoa New Zealand a great place for all mokopuna.
Doing What’s RIGHT for Mokopuna in Aotearoa New Zealand | Te Mahi TIKA mō a Tātou Mokopuna is a free digital booklet available for download below in English and te reo Māori.
This child-friendly resource sets our all rights under the Children's Convention and explains the UN Committee's Concluding Observations on New Zealand in a way that children and young people will enjoy reading.
With colourful artwork by Hope McConnell, this new resource was developed together with a diverse range of children and young people around Aotearoa New Zealand, and is a way to support them to understand their rights under the Convention.
It was launched at the Children's Rights Symposium, hosted by the Children's Convention Monitoring Group on August 1, 2024.
