This declares that every child in the world is entitled to his or her rights "without discrimination of any kind, irrespective of... race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, disability, birth or other status."
一九五九年，聯合國發表兒童權利宣言，直到一九八九年才通過「兒童權利公約」，向全世界明白揭示：「所有兒童，絕無例外，一律有權享受此等權利，不因其本人或家庭之種族、膚色、性別、語言、宗教、政治或其他主張、國族或家世、財產、出生或其他身份而有所軒輊或歧視。」
