The Convention Is Not Only A Visionary Document. We Are Reminded Daily That It Is An Agreement That Works - And Its Utility Can Be Seen In The Everyday Use To Which I Have Seen It Increasingly Being Put By Country After Country, In Policy, In Practice And In Law.

What Is Needed Now Are Increased Efforts To Promote Youth Participation And Commitment; More Services Aimed At Youth; More Parental Involvement; More Education And Information, Using Schools And Other Sites; More Protection For Girls, Orphaned Children And Young Women;and More Partnerships With People With Hiv And Aids.

By Ratifying The Convention, Governments Become Legally Bound To Implement The Rights Therein.

For Example, Unicef Works With Governments To Change Legislation Such As In India Where A Law Was Passed Raising The Age Of Compulsory School Completion To Keep Children In School And Away From The Workplace For Longer.

Girls' Education Is The Single Best Investment That Any Society Can Make.
