Article 13 (Freedom of expression): Children have the right to get and share
information, as long as the information is not damaging to them or others. In exercising
the right to freedom of expression, children have the responsibility to also respect the
rights, freedoms and reputations of others. The freedom of expression includes the
right to share information in any way they choose, including by talking, drawing or
writing.
• Influence and codetermination
Article 12 (Respect for the views of the child): When adults are making
decisions that affect children, children have the right to say what they
think should happen and have their opinions taken into account.
• Equality
Article 2 (Non-discrimination): The Convention applies to all children,
whatever their race, religion or abilities; whatever they think or say,
whatever type of family they come from. It doesn’t matter where children
live, what language they speak, what their parents do, whether they are
boys or girls, what their culture is, whether they have a disability or
whether they are rich or poor. No child should be treated unfairly on
any basis.
