“…Only recently has a critical approach to children's rights from a decolonial perspective emerged (e.g. Faulkner & Nyamutata, 2020; Grahn‐Farley, 2008; Liebel, 2020). Decoloniality can interrogate the power configurations embedded within ideas, cultures and histories of knowledge production, validation and use in societal and institutional structures in creating and sustaining inequalities (Dei & Asgharzadeh, 2001).…”

“…As such, understandings and necessary contextualisations of these rights are adversely affected, inevitably leading to implications for practice, and questions about power dynamics and the relevance of children's rights (e.g. Faulkner & Nyamutata, 2020). The following discussion explores how the interconnections between these rights tend to be underappreciated due to the traditional prioritisation of protection over participation rights and the influence of Global North ideologies.…”

Fostering global dialogue: Conceptualisations of children's rights to participation and protection

The children's rights and child protection sectors are at a critical juncture: will they evolve to reflect and respond to changing conceptualisations in the 21st century or will they continue to reproduce 19th‐ and 20th‐century preoccupations with saving child victims? Informed by systematic reviews of the English‐ and Latin American academic literature in Spanish and Portuguese and key informant interviews with international stakeholders, this paper fosters global dialogue with some Global South and Global North perspectives about the interconnections of children's rights. It explores current conceptualisations of child participation and protection, and concludes that children's rights will only progress after recognition of limitations inherent to current conceptualisations.

“…Several previous articles examined the position of the CRC as a product of the United Nations with a western perspective and dominated. Therefore, there needs to be decolonization efforts by researchers so that the CRC also accommodates other parts of the world [15], [16]. Studies were also conducted regarding the need for integration in the implementation of the CRC in national law.…”

There are some purposes of the study in this article. 1) It describes children's rights education, 2) It describes integrated English learning, 3) It develops a framework for integrating English learning and children's rights education. This type of research is literature study with some procedural steps. The first is collecting data from various journal articles on children's rights, Integrated Language Learning approaches, and textbook studies. The second step is placing the object of study in a multidisciplinary context. The third step is conducting analysis early on, and throughout the study, to find patterns. The last one is analyzing the data inductively. The validity of the data was tested by triangulation of sources and theory. Data analysis is carried out inductively and continuously and simultaneously with data collection. The result shows that there is opportunity for integrating child rights education and English teaching and learning.

“…Those in the global South may find themselves poorly reflected in Section 19 and others. Local resources, languages, tools and understandings may also limit participation in the critical efforts to decolonize the field of children’s rights and their protections ( Faulkner and Nyamutata, 2020 ; we will rejoin that critique in the discussion section of this paper).…”

The journey to reporting child protection violations in sport: Stakeholder perspectives

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sport is a context within which human and children’s rights should be respected, promoted, and protected. Yet, research and high-profile cases demonstrate that this is not always the case. To understand the existence (or not) of reporting mechanisms for child protection violations in sport, as well as how existing reporting and response systems operate, the authors, with the support of the Centre for Sport and Human Rights, conducted research on current abuse disclosure and reporting pathways in sport. The purpose was two-fold: to describe global child protection systems and reporting mechanisms, and to identify major areas of stakeholder concern, in terms of effective case resolution, healing, and children’s experiences along reporting pathways in sport. Two sources of evidence were tapped. First, a rapid evidence assessment consisting of a literature review and an exploratory survey with 112 global stakeholders was conducted. Second, focus group interviews informed by the evidence assessment were held with nine athletes with lived experiences of abuse in youth sport and 13 global human and children’s rights experts primarily working outside of sport. Through this emergent research, a ‘pathway’ or ‘journey’ to incident reporting in sport was developed, summarized as 5 ‘Rs’: Readiness, Recognition, disclosure and Reporting, Response, and Remedy, which are similar but not identical to existing trauma frameworks. Each stage of the reporting journey appears to be influenced by a range of contextual, organizational, relational, and individual factors. All told, the disclosure of child protection violations in sport is a complex and dynamic process where myriad factors interact to influence outcomes, including healing. Key recommendations include: (a) establishing a global Safety Net Environment in sport practice with varying applications from region to region, (b) building bridges with specific partner organizations to enhance child protection and safeguarding work in sport and (c) bringing safeguarding to unregulated sporting environments.
