The subject of the human rights of children and adolescents is broad.

In addition, issues of sojourn status of migrant children and care and isolation for the vulnerable in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic can also be seen as topics related to children and adolescents. In 2022, as social distancing measures in response to COVID-19 were eased, the problem of a care gap decreased somewhat; however, during that period, the problem of the learning gap caused by online classes surfaced.
