The children have been learning some vocabulary related to rights:
- Rights are universal meaning for all children, everywhere, all the time.
- Rights are unconditional meaning they are not a reward and not dependent on a responsibility or performing an action to get them. However, because they are universal and for everyone equally, our actions should respect the rights of others and not deny their rights. This is rights respecting behaviour and actions.
- Rights are inalienable meaning you cannot give them away or sell them and no one can take them from you.
- Rights are indivisible meaning no right is more important than another one. They are a whole package and they are interlinked.
- Rights are inherent meaning they are yours because you are born a human
The right of the month for March is Article 2. Rights are universal. They are for all children, everywhere, all of the time. No one should be discriminated against because of race, family background, disability etc.
