As we look back on 2022, we’re not only reflecting on the challenges facing human rights around the world or the victories we can happily cheer on. It’s also a time to reengage on possibilities for the future.
One area where we saw promise in 2022 was in children’s rights.
HRW’s Children’s Rights Advocacy Director Jo Becker recently highlighted 10 areas where improvements have been made that help protect millions of kids. We’re seeing countries finally ban corporal punishment of children while others have thankfully banned child marriage outright.
Several governments and companies removed surveillance tracking from their online learning products, better protecting the privacy of millions of children in their online classrooms in Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Pakistan, and the United States.
Meanwhile, Colombia, Republic of Congo, and Tunisia each endorsed the Safe Schools Declaration, bringing to 116 the number of countries that have committed to protect education in armed conflict and refrain from using schools for military purposes.
These and other areas of progress show what is possible. Now the work begins to ensure governments continue advancing the rights of children and all others in the year to come.
