"The Routledge Handbook of Children's Rights in Africa offers a compelling African-centred vision of children's rights, grounded in Ubuntu, Pan-Africanism, and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. Recognising children as rights holders and active members of families and communities, it advances the aspirations of Agenda 2040 and Agenda 2063. As Nelson Mandela reminded us, the true measure of a society lies in how it treats its children."Sabrina Gahar, Hon. Professor, Chairperson, African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACERWC), Algeria. "Highlighting African frameworks, knowledges, lived experiences, and centring African scholars and practitioners are essential to decolonise children's rights and illuminate the tensions and opportunities for progress. Consequently, this significant interdisciplinary publication offers necessary and valuable reading dedicated to Africa and children's rights."Tara M. Collins, Professor, School of Child and Youth Care, Toronto Metropolitan University; Children's Institute, University of Cape Town; & International and Canadian Child Rights Partnership (ICCRP; www.torontomu.ca/iccrp), Canada.
