Deep dives

Prioritizing Children's Rights in Policy

Children's rights are often overlooked in national policies, which frequently prioritize adult desires and rights over the interests of children. The belief that children have a right to their parents, especially in contexts like marriage and family, is critical for forming just social policies. Evaluating policies through the lens of children's rights can lead to better outcomes for both children and society. By emphasizing child protection in various issues, including family dynamics, reproductive technologies, and adoption practices, the advocacy for children's rights facilitates discussions about justice and national thriving.
