“…Ambos os Estados são signatários da Convenção sobre os Direitos da Criança, que traz o compromisso de proteger as crianças de todas as formas de exploração e abuso sexual (BRASIL, 1990). A Convenção não trouxe definição clara dos conceitos de exploração e abuso sexual infantil, de forma que existe divergência sobre qual termo seria mais amplo, a exploração (BUCK, 2014, p. 353-355;AKHATAR;NYAMUTATA, 2020, p. 429-431), o abuso ( VAN BUEREN, 1994, p. 52;OMS, [s.d. ] (JOHANSSON et al, 2017, l. 398) Todavia, não se pode perder de vista que a Noruega possui modelo próprio de atendimento, que é o Barnahus, modelo que também existe nos demais países nórdicos e que é conhecido como tentativa de oferecer os atendimentos de que a criança necessita de forma amigável e sob um mesmo teto (JOHANSSON et al, 2017, l. 400).…”

Analisa as semelhanças e diferenças entre Brasil e Noruega no enfrentamento da violência sexual infantil, em especial, no que se refere à colheita das declarações da vítima, que deve servir tanto para a proteção dela como para a punição do ofensor concomitantemente. Discorre sobre os modelos do Barnahus e dos Centros Integrados, mas também tece considerações sobre a atuação descentralizada em caso de inexistência dos Centros. Recorre a uma base teórica de inspiração funcionalista e universalista. Classifica-se a pesquisa como exploratória, qualitativa, com recursos bibliográficos e método dialético, trazendo discussões sobre contribuições possíveis para os dois países.

“…The discourses on the origins of the modern human rights movement and protagonists have been addressed considerably in the literature on the decolonisation of human rights literature (see e.g., An‐Naim, 2021; Hoffmann & Assy, 2019; Saghaye‐Biria, 2018). The origins of the modern international children's rights legal framework are often traced back to British philanthropist Eglantyne Jebb, whose declaration was later adopted by the UN, leading to the creation of the United Nations Convention on Human Rights (UNCRC) (Akhtar & Nyamutata, 2020). Elsewhere, I have argued for the decolonisation of the UNCRC (Faulkner & Nyamutata, 2020).…”

Decolonising and decriminalising child marriage in Africa

Child marriages, often attributed to culture and gender inequality, are prevalent across Africa. Several countries have moved to criminalise the practice. At the core of the criminalisation debate are the fundamental tensions between statutory (state) law on the one hand, and religious and customary law on the other. The growing momentum towards punishment, targeted almost invariably at male offenders, is meant to address the conflict between cultural practices that lead to child marriage and the protection of children's rights. However, some countries have not criminalised child marriage. Thus, the outlawry of child marriages is not universal on the continent. The agitation towards criminalisation—I describe this as ‘popular punitvism’ ‐ as a panacea, is animated by Western penological justifications, principally, deterrence. However, Western criminological and penological theories may not fully account for a phenomenon in other social and geographical spaces. The paper argues for decolonising and decriminalising child marriages in Africa but not legalising it.

Corporal punishment (CP) is the most common and socially normative form of violence perpetrated against children and is legal in the home and some other settings in Australia. CP was made a common practice through its introduction by European settlers and Christian missionaries during colonisation. Furthermore, the defence of reasonable chastisement became part of the Australian common law in 1860 and is still used in some jurisdictions. Other jurisdictions have enacted criminal laws that have entrenched the defence in legislation. This article gives a brief historical overview of the origin of CP in the English common law, the defence of reasonable chastisement and how these concepts came to be entrenched in Australian law and culture. Moreover, this contribution examines the recognition of children's rights in international law and the significant global impact this has had in elevating the status of children. Then, this article analyses the current legal framework and the permissiveness of CP in Australian states and territories. Consequently, it is argued that states and territories ought to repeal legislation that permits CP, and all jurisdictions should insert a positive statement into civil laws that CP is no longer acceptable as a disciplinary measure.
