Our goal is a world where children's human rights are recognised, respected and enforced, and where every rights violation has a remedy. This is a world where organisations like ours would not need to exist. But we realise this may be a long way off and may not happen in our lifetime. In the meanwhile, we will start paving the way. To this end, we have set ourselves three overarching objectives that will guide our work in the coming years:
1) Change the narrative so that children become recognised as people with independent human rights;
2) Build a collective so that defending and promoting children’s rights becomes a shared responsibility; and
3) Seek justice so that when rights are violated, we fight for justice, accountability and redress.
CRIN is a creative think tank that produces new and dynamic perspectives on human rights issues, with a focus on children’s rights. We challenge the status quo because the norms that dictate children’s place in society need radical change. We press for rights - not charity - and campaign for a genuine shift in how governments and societies view and treat children. Through research, artwork and our vision for the future, we encourage people to think critically about the world.
