The advocacy guide helps advocates, governments, and civil society to use the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) — in conjunction with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) — to protect and promote the rights of children with disabilities. The guide includes a comparative overview of relevant articles from both Conventions, close examinations of the rights of children in areas such as education, health, family life, inclusion, and justice, and offers practical guidance for advocacy strategies and examples of good practice. It underscores the importance of involving children with disabilities as advocates for their own rights and supports implementation through legal, policy, and awareness-raising tools.
