Children’s Right to Read
A child’s right to literacy is a fundamental cornerstone of their development and empowerment, serving as a gateway to education, self-expression, and understanding of the world.
It equips children with the tools needed to navigate life’s challenges, participate fully in society, and access opportunities that can transform their lives.
Literacy lays the foundation for continuous learning, critical thinking, and the ability to advocate for oneself and others. Ensuring every child has the right to literacy is not just about teaching them to read and write; it’s about opening doors to a future where they can dream bigger, contribute meaningfully, and thrive in an ever-changing world.
