Our focus is rooted in advocacy and education that leads to healing and transformation. By promoting awareness and justice‑centered action, Angels in the Camp works to create lasting, positive change in the lives of children and the communities that support them.

The importance of children’s rights

The Convention for the Rights of the Child, adopted in 1989, is the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history. It’s not just a legal framework—it’s a moral commitment to treat children as rights-holders.

Convention on the Rights of the Child

The Convention recognizes the fundamental human dignity of all children and the urgency of ensuring their well-being and development. It makes clear the idea that a basic quality of life should be the right of all children, rather than a privilege enjoyed by a few.

Child rights and why they matter

Defending rights together

We must work together to defend the rights of children in refugee camps and who are victims of conflict.

Raising awareness – justice for children:


In 2024, the UN verified over 41,000 grave violations against children in armed conflict, with nearly 22,500 children directly affected. Globally, UNICEF estimates that 1 in 10 children—about 240 million—have a disability, with risks intensifying during conflict.

Defending the rights of children with disabilities

Article 23: States Parties recognize that a mentally or physically disabled child should enjoy a full and decent life, in conditions which ensure dignity, promote self-reliance and facilitate the child’s active participation in the community.

Addressing Violations of Human Rights:

“They demolished my house and my room, which held all my memories. They took everything that helped me to live, like my devices, my boot, and my wheelchair. How can I go back to how I was without all this?” — Ghazal, a 14-year-old girl with cerebral palsy in Gaza.
