Your Rights as a Teenager in SA

Being a teenager comes with new responsibilities and rights. Understanding the Children’s Act is crucial. This section provides clear, easy-to-understand information to empower you.

Understanding the Children's Act

The Children’s Act (Act 38 of 2005) is designed to protect and promote the well-being of children in South Africa. It covers various aspects, including parental responsibilities, care, protection from abuse, and access to education and health.

We’ll break down key sections relevant to teenagers, explaining your rights regarding:

  • Your right to participate in decisions affecting you.
  • Protection from all forms of abuse and neglect.
  • Access to basic nutrition, shelter, and healthcare.
  • Your right to education.
  • Responsibilities towards your family and community.
