Abstract

The realisation of children’s rights is a pressing global concern, with millions of children globally experiencing abuse, neglect, exploitation, and discrimination. The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child urges states to respect, promote and fulfil children’s rights in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child. This paper details insights shared by leading children’s rights advocates at LAWASIA’s webinar, ‘Children and Young People’s Human Rights in Today’s World.’ In this webinar Dr Holly Doel-Mackaway (Children’s Rights Academic and Expert Counsellor, Human Rights Committee, LAWASIA) spoke with three leading children’s rights experts Mikiko Otani (Chair of the Committee on the Rights of the Child), Sharmila Sekaran (Co-Founder of Voice of the Children, Malaysia) and Rukmini Banerji (Chief Executive Officer of Pratham Education Foundation, India) about the status of children’s and young people’s human rights across the world today. Speakers identified key children’s rights challenges facing the Asia-Pacific region including grave violations of girls’ rights, the impacts of growing inequality and poverty on children, children’s participation, child marriage and other forms of abuse and exploitation, education equity and climate justice.
亚太地区的儿童权利:对参与、教育、女童权利和童婚的批判性思考
实现儿童权利是一个紧迫的全球性问题,全球有数百万儿童遭受虐待、忽视、剥削和歧视。联合国儿童权利委员会敦促各国根据《儿童权利公约》尊重、促进和实现儿童权利。本文详细介绍了主要儿童权利倡导者在 LAWASIA 网络研讨会 "当今世界的儿童和青少年人权 "上分享的见解。在这次网络研讨会上,霍莉-多尔-麦卡韦博士(儿童权利学者兼 LAWASIA 人权委员会专家顾问)与三位主要儿童权利专家 Mikiko Otani(儿童权利委员会主席)、Sharmila Sekaran(马来西亚儿童之声联合创始人)和 Rukmini Banerji(印度普拉塔姆教育基金会首席执行官)就当今世界儿童和青少年的人权状况进行了交谈。发言者指出了亚太地区在儿童权利方面面临的主要挑战,包括严重侵犯女童权利、日益加剧的不平等和贫困对儿童的影响、儿童参与、童婚及其他形式的虐待和剥削、教育公平和气候正义。
