In P2D, we explored Article 9 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which says that children have the right to live with their parents unless it is not safe for them. If children are separated from one or both parents, they have the right to stay in contact with them, as long as it’s in their best interests. We created a video to help explain this right and why it’s important for children to feel loved, supported, and connected to their families. Our class discussed how families can look different, but every child deserves to feel safe and cared for.
