Description:

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected children’s social and economic rights directly and indirectly beyond what we could have foreseen, and there's no doubt that those from vulnerable backgrounds will feel the long-term impact the hardest. But what are the challenges today to the fulfilment of these rights for children, and how can they be met during and after a pandemic?This guest article by Yujin Kim, a member of Youth 4 Climate Action Korea, reflects on the need to treat the climate crisis as urgently as any pandemic and that young people, as the biggest stakeholders, need to be included in developing an equitable recovery and development policy.As the world faces up to the challenges of dealing with the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, CRIN is producing a series of features exploring how the pandemic and the measures to prevent its spread impact the human rights of under-18s.CRIN is monitoring policy developments and recommendations on children’s rights in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
