| Summary |
"Advocates for children gathered at a major international conference in New Zealand in 1999. This book presents a selection of papers from the conference, covering many vital issues." "The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child provided a reference point for discussions which included children and trauma, children's rights education, the action of governments to implement the Convention, the impact of economic change on children's lives, and children's rights in the ecology of human development. Legal, cultural, welfare, educational and health issues relating to children are all part of the book."--Jacket |
