Millions of Bangladeshi children face a childhood that is starkly and brutally different from the ideals that were adopted in The Millennium Declaration, in 2000, by all countries, as a blueprint for building a better world in the 21st century.

Poverty is denying children their dignity, endangering their lives and limiting their potentials. Abuse, exploitation and violence against them rob them of a secure family life, which every child has a right to enjoy.

Aparajeyo-Bangladesh is guided by the CRC principles and uses them as the driving force behind its work for children to eliminate conditions that lead to crimes against them and denial of their fundamental rights and freedom.
