In 1900 the Swedish social theorist Ellen Key launched the idea of
a Century of the Child. Recent media reports, from shooting and
racial violence in the US to the latest news from ISIS-dominated
areas provide a darker vision: it is certainly not a time for
children; it is a time during which children's wellbeing is being
the cause of worry. This book is about schools and protection of
children, and proposes ways to ensure the minimum standards of
safety in schools. The issue of protection is not only important in
specific conflict settings, but also more and more in mainstream
schools in the Western context. Therefore the book is not focusing
on a specific geographic area, but analyzing various contexts of
adversity, including those affected by poverty, high incidence of
HIV/AIDS, as well as conflict and post conflict-affected areas. It
also illustrates the effects of such contexts: * non-enrollment of
children or early dropout from school; * various forms of abuse and
bullying at home and school; * increased incidence of child
marriage; * abusive child labor, and in some cases, the worst forms
of child labor. The school emerges as an institution that could
play a stronger role in protection of children and that also could
provide better support in the transition from childhood to work and
marriage.
