The Children’s Complementary Report from South Africa is directed to the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACERWC) in response to South Africa’s Second Country Report to the ACERWC regarding the implementation of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child.
The quality of education in the foundation years has a lasting impact and we are working hard to ensure that every child receives quality basic education.
South Africa is marked by high levels of violence and exploitation of children in places where they should be safe. All children should thrive in a safe environment.
No child under the age of 5 should die from preventable disease and all our children deserve long-term good health.
Insufficient resources prevent children from achieving their rights as enshrined in the South African Constitution. We are campaigning for a strengthened child-rights system.
