Although it was hoped that the Convention would have a significant and positive impact on the lives of all children, this has not happened in many parts of the world. This edited volume, based on empirical research and Non-Governmental project data, explores the progress of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and to a lesser extent, the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, in nine African countries in the 25 years since it was adopted by the UN General Assembly. The book considers the implementation of the Convention both in terms of policy and practice, and its impact on the lived experiences of children in societies across the continent, focusing on specific themes such as HIV/AIDS, education and disability, child labour, witchcraft stigmatisation, armed conflict and religion. The book breaks new ground in blending legal and social perspectives of the experiences of children, and identifies concrete ways forward for the better implementation of the CRC treaty in the various political contexts that exist in Africa. This book will be useful to students and researchers of law, childhood studies, social policy and African studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $t The Convention on the Rights of the Child : advancing social justice for African children? / $r Nicola Ansell. $t Conflicting protectionist and participation models of children's rights : their consequences for Uganda's orphans and vulnerable children / $r Kristen E.
