The book contains four studies that compare experiences from countries with similar legal traditions and examine how the Convention on the Rights of the Child has been integrated and harmonized with national legislation in specific countries. The book demonstrates how the CRC can be implemented in different country contexts in an effort to achieve children's rights uniformly across widely divergent legal traditions. It highlights key developments, identifies trends, and draws general conclusions that provide insight into the legal traditions at issue for advocacy in relationship to the implementation of the CRC, as well as to encourage practical actions. The book proposes a framework for enhancing compatibility of national legislation with human rights instruments and with the CRC in particular. The book endeavors to emphasize the CRC's ideology of indivisibility of rights, solidarity, and partnership in realizing children's rights. The book is a powerful advocacy tool for supporting the implementation of the CRC and Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).

Dans un environnement national difficle, caractérisé par une pauvreté monétaire généralisée des ménages, des troubles politico-militaires récurrents et une mauvaise gestion publique, cet ouvrage nous plonge au coeur de la Centrafrique et tente d''apporter des éclairages sur la situation des enfants dans ce pays.Comment envisager l''avenir de la Centrafrique alors même que les futurs acteurs de demain, c''est-à-dire les enfants d''aujourd''hui se trouvent dans une situation économique et sociale déplorable ? Famille, santé, scolarité, travail sont les thèmes principaux abordés dans ce livre qui s''attache à montrer l''ampleur des problèmes rencontrés par les moins de 15 ans et à essayer d''en comprendre les déterminants.Les résultats s''appuient sur une enquête réalisée en 2000, représentative au plan national, qui a porté sur près de 14 000 ménages.Un partenariat effectif de l''ensemble des acteurs multi-sectoriels du développement est aujourd''hui nécessaire si l''on veut aboutir à un changement signficatif du niveau de bien-être des enfants centrafricains. C''est l''avenir de la République centrafricaine qui se joue ici. Saura-t-elle offrir un autre futur à ses enfants ? Saura-t-elle rebondir dans le nouveau millénaire ?

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised huge concerns for the mental health of an entire generation of children. But the pandemic may represent only the tip of a mental health iceberg, an iceberg we have ignored for far too long. For the first time, The State of the World's Children 2021 examines the mental health of children and adolescents. Against a backdrop of rising awareness of mental health issues, there is now a unique opportunity to promote good mental health for every child, protect vulnerable children, and care for children facing the greatest challenges. Making that happen will require urgent investment in child and adolescent mental health across sectors - not just in health, to support proven interventions. It will also need societies to break the silence surrounding mental health, by addressing stigma, promoting understanding, and taking seriously the experiences of children and young people
