Every Child In South Africa Has An Equal Right

Not just to survive, but also to be protected, develop to their full potential and participate in all decisions that affect them.

This is guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. This is essential for achieving the country’s sustainable development goals of ending poverty and inequality.
