The Kofid-19 had a significant impact on children as well, according to the human rights organisation with headquarters in the Netherlands, as they were occasionally deprived of food or medicine due to problems in the health sector, which resulted in the death of about 286,000 children under the age of five.
This information was provided in a research by the organisation known as the “Children’s Rights Index,” which was published annually and ranked 185 nations according on how closely they adhered to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The top three countries in the 2022 indicator were Central Africa, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, and Chad. The bottom three were Iceland, Sweden, Finland, and the Netherlands.
The 2022 indication is “worrying about our present and future generations of children,” according to the organization’s founder and president, Mark.
According to him, “a rapidly changing atmosphere now threatens their future and their fundamental rights. ”
Dollars expressed his regret that “there was no great progress in the living levels of children during the past decade, and in addition, their livelihoods were severely affected by the pandemic.
According to the Children’s Rights Index for 2022, the number of children working worldwide increased to 160 million for the first time in 20 years, a rise of 8.4 million children over the previous four years.
In collaboration with the University of Erasmus in Rotterdam, the organisation created this index.
