More than a quarter of a century has passed since Canada promised
to recognize and respect the rights of children under the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Ratification of the
Convention cannot, however, guarantee that everyone will abandon
proprietary notions about children, or that all children will be
free to enjoy the substance of their rights in every social and
institutional context in which they find themselves, including -
and perhaps especially - within families. This disconnect remains
one of the most important challenges to the recognition of
children's rights in Canada.The authors argue that social toxins
are as harmful to children's independent welfare and developmental
interests as environmental toxins, and that both must be eradicated
if Canada is to fulfill its commitments under the Convention. They
also argue that if Canada wishes to ensure the substance of the
rights outlined in the Convention are socially guaranteed, an
attitudinal or cultural shift is required concerning the moral and
legal status of children. This revised, expanded, and updated
edition of the bestselling Challenge of Children's Rights for
Canada will be of interest to academics, policymakers, parents,
teachers, social workers, and human service professionals - indeed
to anyone who cares about and for children.
