The European Centre, contracted by UNICEF Croatia, conducted the Situation Analysis of Children and Adolescents in Croatia. The scope of this report is to examine the degree of realisation of children’s rights, to investigate the unequal realisation of rights across different areas and to identify the drivers of unequal realisation in Croatia. The analysis concluded that, overall, Croatia has progressed in providing a legal and regulatory framework for children’s and adolescents’ rights and protection. However, some vulnerable groups remain excluded in terms of access to good quality services, protection, representation and participation.
The main findings of the Situation Analysis Report will be discussed with Croatian key child rights stakeholders at the end of January 2021. A final version of the Situation Analysis of Children and Adolescents in Croatia will be available early this year.
