Which countries ascribe to these rights

There are several countries that have contributed significantly to the rights of children and adolescents throughout history. Some of the most notable countries are:

1. United States: The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), which focuses on children around the world, was founded in this nation in 1946. It was also the nation in which the Mary Ellen case took place. , the first legal action that recognizes children's right to be protected. of abuse. However, in some states of the country, the death penalty and life imprisonment are allowed for young people who were minors when the events occurred. The United States is the only country in the world that admits this practice.

Despite the above, much remains to be done, especially with regard to violence against children and the reception of immigrant children.

However, the level of poverty suffered by Portuguese children is worrying.
