The protection of children's rights is an essential component of ensuring the well-being of future generations. The rights of children are enshrined in various international legal frameworks, notably the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), as well as national laws across the world. This study examines the protection of children's rights in contemporary society, with a particular focus on the legislative and judicial frameworks, their effectiveness, and the challenges faced in implementation. It investigates key areas such as child labor, education, child abuse, and juvenile justice, analyzing the legal provisions aimed at protecting children's rights, the role of various stakeholders, and gaps in enforcement. The study further explores global initiatives, such as the CRC and national efforts to protect children’s rights, emphasizing the growing awareness of child rights and the role of society in ensuring children's well-being.
