They (the UN) specifically categorize people by their ages. I believe children are those under 10. Adolescents are 10-19. Adults are 19 over.
So yes, children are under the age of consent. But they're not talking about children when they're talking about adolescents.
So no one is pushing to legalize sex with children.
When it talks about consensual sex of adolescents, it's talking about an adolescent with another adolescent. Not an adolescent and a child, or an adolescent with an adult.
They're specific when talking about ages for this exact reason. But somehow people manage to misinterpret it. Or just outright misrepresent it.
The only time adults are mentioned is concerning consensual sex work with other adults.
