This media release from UNICEF Australia highlights the findings of a report containing the voices of children and youth in Australia which shows the ways in which the country is and is not meeting its committments to the Convention of the Rights of the Child. According to the CEO of UNICEF Australia, "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, children with disability, LGBTIQ children, asylum seeker and refugee children, children living in regional and remote areas and children in out of home care are particularly being left behind." The statement calls for "action and commitments, including a national plan for children, a national children and families strategy, a Minister for Children and a funded youth peak body."
