Children's rights conference on equal opportunities for growing up
On Children's Convention Day, Monday 20 November 13:00-17:00, Erikshjälpen organizes a children's rights conference in collaboration with Jönköping University and the County Administrative Board of Jönköping County. How do we create equal growing conditions for all children? is the question that the conference focuses 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.
During the Children's Rights Conference in Jönköping, Sweden, Children's Ombudsman Elisabeth Dahlin, researcher Frida Lygnegård and children's rights consultant Åsa Ekman will focus on children's right to safe and equal conditions for growing up. Together with expert panels, they will discuss what Sweden needs to do better to implement the UN's recommendations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
