The primary purpose of this study was to analyse children’s perspectives on how their rights are respected. Of course, children have their rights, just like any being on earth. Awareness of one’s rights is part of everyone’s duty. Seventy-four children aged 11 to 18 were surveyed for mixed research. The results showed that children know their rights and believe that they are respected. However, although they learn about their rights at school, this is not where they believe their rights are best respected. Children feel protected at church and in the family, but their answers show that the education they are exposed to is a quality one. In addition, the assessment made by the children demonstrates maturity, understanding and awareness.
