Egypt has embarked on an ambitious plan to implement the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relating to children, as illustrated by Egypt’s National Childhood and Motherhood Strategy, its National Human Rights Strategy, and its Sustainable Development Strategy: Egypt Vision 2030. For children and young people, access to appropriate legal support is crucial not only for successfully resolving their legal problems, but also for combating poverty and exclusion by securing their rights to social protection, education, and health care. The pragmatic and forward-thinking nature of Egypt’s recent efforts, all of which underscore the specificity of children’s needs and rights, provide a strong impetus for the modernisation of public policies and legal frameworks. Building on these high-level commitments, Egypt is in a position to significantly advance access to justice for children, improve the quality of life of Egyptian children and secure inclusive and sustainable development for future generations.
