Every Child In South Africa Has An Equal Right.

South African National Child Rights Coalition

The South African National Children’s Rights Coalition (SANCRC) is a civil society coalition of like-minded child rights organisations, activists and children in South Africa advocating for realising children’s rights.

The SANCRC advocates together to strengthen the South African national child care and protection system to realise the full potential of every child, regardless of race, gender, disability, health, geography, nationality or any other grounds of discrimination.

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.
