The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), which was adopted
unanimously by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989, marked
a turning point in the perception of children in international law
and policy. 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 Organisation
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, street children, parent-child
relationships and child participation. 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.
