UK ranked among 10 worst performers for children`s rights

"The UK has been accused of employing "inadequate" provision for children`s rights protection after it fell dramatically in global rankings for child rights within a year, from 11th to 156th."

"Serious concerns have been raised about structural discrimination in the UK, including Muslim children facing increased discrimination following recent anti-terrorism measures, and a rise in discrimination against gypsy and refugee children in recent years."

"The UK now ranks among the bottom 10 global performers in the arena of improving rights of the child, after it achieved the lowest-possible score across all six available indicators in the domain of Child Rights Environment (CRE), according to the KidsRights Index 2017."
