Abstract
This article argues that the conditions experienced by many children make it important that their rights should be taken seriously. Rights are important if children are to be treated with equality and as autonomous beings. This means believing that anyone's autonomy is as significant as anyone else's. This article examines arguments supporting this position and applies it to the UN convention.Keywords
