According to the latest data from UNESCO, there remain 750 million people around the world who cannot read and write. Two thirds of them are female. In 2018, the ILA Board of Directors convened a task force charged with developing a worldwide campaign around children's rights to read--and what needs to be done to ensure these fundamental rights. This task force is composed of International Literacy Association (ILA) members from Australia, Ireland, Japan, Russia, and the United States. Their work yielded a list of 10 rights, of equal importance, that every child deserves. In this report, it offers a glimpse into how and why the task force selected each of the 10 rights. Also included in the report is a reference list of the literature the task force drew upon when crafting the rights and recommend reviewing these resources for yourself.
