Child Rights Report – 2021

No one to heal, no one to teach

What happened in 2021?

2021 was the year of heated ideological debates, promising progress and entrenched structural problems. This was the year that produced the so-called ‘anti-paedophilia bill’ in the name of child protection, and it was during this year that Hungary vetoed the EU Strategy on the Rights of the Child. The public sphere was buzzing with child rights debates, but what took place behind the scenes is also of interest.

The Child Rights Report 2021 covers the greatest challenges and the most important novelties, as well as the failures.

Take a look at the 2021 report

Child rights cannot be divided up. Every child right belongs to all children and all children are deserving of each and every child right. This principle should be self-explanatory and natural 30 years after Hungary’s ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Child. But this is not the case. The Child Rights Report of 2021 presents a comprehensive overview of the challenges accompanying child protection, the education system and child health.
