Children's Lives In An Era Of Children's Rights: The Progress Of The Convention On The Rights Of The Child In Africa (Routledge Research In Human Rights Law)

This book assesses the progress the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) 1989 has made in different African countries as well as in the region more generally. It considers the implementation of the CRC in terms of policy, practice and its impact on the lived experiences of children across the continent, focusing on specific themes such as HIV/AIDS, education and disability, child labour, witchcraft stigmatisation, armed conflict and religion. The volume provides a critical analysis of the progress of the CRC and identifies concrete ways forward for the better implementation of this treaty in Africa.
