Children's rights conference on equal opportunities for growing up
On the Day of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Monday, November 20, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Erikshjälpen is organizing a conference on children’s rights in collaboration with Jönköping ’s University, and the Jönköping County Administrative Board. “How can we create equal conditions for all children to grow up in?” is the question the conference will focus on.
All children are equally valuable and should have the same rights. At the same time, the recommendations of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child show systematic shortcomings in Sweden regarding the integration of a child rights-based approach and child participation.
At the children’s rights conference in Jönköping , Children’s Ombudsman Elisabeth Dahlin, researcher Frida Lygnegård, and children’s rights consultant Åsa Ekman will focus on children’s right to safe and equitable conditions for growing up. Together with expert panels, they will discuss what Sweden needs to do better to implement the UN’s recommendations, as outlined at the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
