ICCPR Article 23 · CRPD Article 23

Family life is protected

The family should be protected. You can ask for safe family contact or reunification, and for family decisions to respect consent.

How you can use it

  1. 1Tell the caseworker what safe family contact you want.
  2. 2Say: “Please protect my family life and explain any limit.”
  3. 3Ask for the plan in writing and a review if contact is blocked.

What a violation looks like

The State separates a family without necessity or ignores free consent in a family decision.

Words you can use

“Please protect my family life and explain any limit on contact.”

If speaking is hard, write it, draw it, send a message, or ask a trusted adult to say it with you.
