Manual: Situar la participación de niños, niñas, adolescentes y jóvenes al centro de la transformación del cuidado
Todos los niños, niñas o adolescentes y jóvenes tienen derecho a crecer en el seno de una familia y a ser incluidos en la comunidad. Los estados están obligados a prestar servicios que impidan separaciones innecesarias y a garantizar que las familias puedan brindar el cuidado adecuado.

Todos los niños, niñas o adolescentes, ya sea que vivan con sus familias biológicas o bajo una modalidad alternativa de cuidado, tienen derecho a participar significativamente en las decisiones que afecten su vida, incluidas aquellas relacionadas con su cuidado.
