The concept that quality education is a tool for children to understand and challenge systemic injustices affecting their lives and futures.
Sor Juana understood education as the pathway to both personal liberation and social awareness. For children's rights, this means education cannot be merely vocational or decorative—it must develop consciousness. Children who understand history, philosophy, mathematics, and literature gain tools to recognize injustice and imagine alternatives. Education in Sor Juana's vision empowers children to become architects of justice, not passive recipients of predetermined roles. This applies directly to children's rights by establishing that adequate, enriching education is not a commodity but a necessity for human dignity and social participation. Children denied real education are denied the means to understand their own rights and advocate for themselves. Educational access thus becomes inseparable from children's rights to protection, voice, and self-determination.
