Description

This book provides a conceptual framework for children's rights as well as specific strategies and opportunities for social workers to apply in their work. It guidesĀ social work professionals and students throughĀ the history of children's rights. It also includes a call for a paradigm shiftĀ from a focus onĀ theĀ right to nurturance to theĀ right to self-determination, as well as a contrasting look at children's rights in the West versus the rest of the world.
