You have right! - CRC – Anti-Discrimination Grant - 2008-2009

According to a UNICEF study 23% of the Hungarian children are not aware of one of the children’s rights, although the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) has been ratified by Hungary and since 1991 it is part of our legal system. About the knowledge of the professionals working with children on Children’s Rights no study has been made.

In the framework of „The Civil Society and the Implementation of the Anti- discrimination Act” Programme co-financed by the European Union Pre-Accession Funds our Association (Family, Child, Youth Association -FCYA) has obtained a grant and developed a project called “Van jogod!” (“You have the right”).

We developed training programs and piloted it on the rights of the child to prevent discrimination and raise awareness on its importance.

We prepared two Handbooks. One of which for the use of the professionals working with children helping them with domestic examples which they can use is their every day work (I have rights, you have rights, he/she has rights… About Children’s Rights for Adults). The other handbook a child friendly one helping children getting information on their rights, on discrimination and techniques how to prevent the latter (I have rights, you have rights, he/she has rights… About Children’s Rights for Children).

We translated and published the fully revised third edition of the Implementation Handbook for the Convention on the Rights of the Child prepared for UNICEF by Rachael Hodgkin and Peter Newell into Hungarian. Of which we published 1000 copies with a supplementing CD and also made it available for download on our website:
