The Children’s Rights Alliance is a coalition of over 100 organisations working to secure the rights of children in Ireland, by campaigning for the full implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.  We aim to improve the lives of all children under 18 years, through securing the necessary changes in Ireland’s laws, policies and services.

Our Vision: Ireland will be one of the best places in the world to be a child

Our Mission: To realise the rights of children in Ireland through securing the full implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
