Rights of the Child

We will cover the topic of ratification of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in the United States and what it entails, as well as the reasons it should be ratified and the reasons it is opposed. Pdf files offer valuable information and research from the ACLU as well as from the Harvard Human Rights journal in support of the ratification of the Rights of the Child in the United States.

In this section we will study the mind-set that has many of us believing children have no need for rights until they reach of legal age, how this belief system permeates the social systems, courts, schools and agencies affecting our treatment of children.

In this short lecture we will go over actual updated statistics on child abuse, child sex slavery and missing and exploited children in the United States.

U.S. and worldwide statistics on child abuse, child sex slavery and missing children which derive from children not having fundamental rights which further leaves them vulnerable to victimization.

There is a solution - By educating the public on the harm children suffer by not having fundamental rights and by encouraging advocacy for the Rights of the Child in the United States and abroad.

Intro to Adult Survivors of Child Abuse as a direct result of the common mind-set to deny children rights and what solution is recommended by this course to better protect children in the United States. We also provide pdf resources and referrals for those students who are survivors, who may know of someone who is or wants to support survivors, as well as encouragement to become advocates for the Rights of the Child and abolitionists to fight child sex slavery through the knowledge they have gained in this course.
