Child rights now have their own icons! Organizations, schools, government offices and others promoting child rights may use these child rights icons for non-commercial use.

Each article in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child has its own icon. We encourage everyone committed to child rights to actively use these icons.

The 43 colorful and fun symbols were developed by UNICEF in cooperation with children and selected through online voting.

Each icon consists of three elements:

  • The number of the article it symbolizes
  • A graphic image
  • A short description of that right

There is also a logo for the CRC as a whole, which contains the background color of each article.

“It is essential that child rights be known, understood and put into practice by all children and adults for the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) to have an effect. The icons will help to increase awareness of child rights.”

Florian Hadatsch, Child Rights Specialist
