As part of the African Union, South Africa needs to report on how children in the country enjoy the rights given to them by the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. Unfortunately, children have not been properly informed about the South African Government’s First or Second Country Reports, or the comments of the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child on the reports. There are many laws in South Africa that protect children. But there are still many problems.

This child-friendly report includes key information for South African children and recommendations for the realization of their rights.
