The goal of DCI’s 3rd Annual Conference on Child Rights is three-fold: to raise awareness of children’s rights in local, national, and international communities, to discuss key issues of poverty in the 21th century, and to provide a forum for discussing creative, community-driven methods for alleviating child labor, hunger, and poverty around the world. Keynote speakers include some of the leading national and international experts in the fields of children’s rights and child poverty.

The conference will feature enlightening and educational talks on children's rights, poverty alleviation, and general global health issues. This event is open to all; however, pre-registration is required, as the venue’s seating capacity is limited. The tickets for the event are $25 for adults and $15 for students. Lunch, and evening networking are included in the ticket price. Registration can be completed online at http://www.distressedchildren.org.
