This video explores the rights of children as recognized in Iranian law and international human rights instruments. While advancements such as the adoption of Iran’s 2020 Law on the Protection of Children and Adolescents mark important progress, significant challenges remain in the implementation of these laws. Discrepancies between Iran’s legal definition of childhood and international standards, along with the absence of effective support systems, highlight critical gaps that must be addressed.
The video explains how violence, poverty, and neglect of children’s right to education place them at serious risk. It also outlines strategies for fostering cooperation among legal, educational, and social institutions to strengthen child protection efforts.
The ultimate goal is to uphold the best interests of the child and create conditions in which all children can grow, thrive, and realize their full potential.
