Abstract

The dehumanizing experiences of children has generally attracted the attention of international nongovernmental organizations as well as different governments that have sponsored both international treaty and platforms to protect this vulnerable group of people. Proclamations from these institutions have translated into localized versions designed to enforce basic international minimum standards. Nigeria is signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The study was designed to examine the level of knowledge and compliance with some of the provisions of this multilateral treaty by children and their parents. To achieve this purpose, a survey involving 200 students and parents of two secondary schools in Lagos was conducted. Findings suggested that majority of the children lack adequate knowledge of the implications of verbal and physical child abuse while parents were fairly higher but low by absolute standard.
