Background and Aim: The cornerstone of the future growth and development of the society is the upbringing and protection of the rights of today’s children. The harmful effects that various examples of violence leave on a child's personality and mental-psychological condition and expose his future and society to serious harm are not hidden from anyone. Due to the physical weakness and vulnerability of a child much more than an adult, the society should support and give special attention to them. The most important step in this direction is the correct recognition of the rights that protect the child from experiencing violential behavior and place them under the significant support of society. Thus, the mission of this article is to explain the most important rights of children against any violence and child abuse. Method:This study is of theoretical type and has been done with descriptive-analytical method and using library resources and inference in laws. Results:The legislator of our country has protected the rights of children against any possible abuses in various laws and regulations and has paid attention to the rights of children against any instances of violence. Conclusion:The right to equal social protection, the right to access to appropriate information, the right to not be forced to work, the right to proper education, the right to not be exploited or trafficked, the right to special welfare protections and service support are the important aspects of guaranteeing children's rights in the face of violence in Iran's legal system.
