"Children have the rights to:
- Protection (e.g., from abuse, exploitation and harmful substances) - Provision (e.g., for education, health care and an adequate standard of living) - Participation (e.g., listening to children’s views and respecting their evolving capacities) - Specific protections and provisions for vulnerable populations such as Aboriginal children and children with disabilities"
