This document summarizes several issues impacting children's rights globally, including hazardous and exploitative child labor, the use of child soldiers in armed conflicts, lack of access to education for over 100 million children, and risks faced by unaccompanied refugee and migrant children including denial of services, abuse, and barriers to seeking asylum. It calls for stronger child protection policies and reporting mechanisms to safeguard children's rights and welfare internationally.

Editor's Notes
