Celebrating 25 Years of Scoop
The 12th Edition Of The Annual KidsRights Index Report (2024) Is Out
This year we present to you the 12th edition of the annual KidsRights Index Report (2024). The polycrisis impacting children’s rights across the world is deepening as young people continue to suffer from a multitude of crises, according to the KidsRights Index Report 2024 released today, the only ranking that annually and systematically reviews the global state of children’s rights worldwide.
This year’s study has revealed there has been a 21% rise of serious children’s rights violations in armed conflicts around the world, owing to conflicts in Israel and Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, and many more countries across the globe. In Israel and Gaza alone, since October 2023 nearly 8,000 children have been killed.

Marc Dullaert, KidsRights Founder and Chair, stated that:
“This year’s report highlights the devastating impact that the deepening polycrisis has had on children and their rights by undermining decades of progress on the protection of the next generation across the world. In particular, it is abundantly clear that we are now unlikely to meet the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals relating to children’s rights.
Therefore, Governments and humanitarian agencies around the world should look long and hard in the mirror and face this reality head-on by creating new plans that ensure we tackle each issue to protect children and provide them with a bright future ahead.”
