The Impact

How do mothers of disabled children navigate the roles of advocate and activist? This paper reflects on the experiences of mothers of disabled children, exploring the impact upon families who take on responsibilities for working for disabled children’s rights. It is from these experiences that, as mothers, we join other activists and academics in the growing radical disability rights movement. The purpose of this paper is to illuminate the labour of advocate mothers and to tell our stories of success. We also aim to provide recommendations to mothers, fathers, families, schools, academic communities and those invested in social justice, to work toward future positive action on behalf of disabled children.

Levels Of Support

Previous research on young carers has provided data on prevalence, the tasks performed, the impacts on the carer, and the supports they require. However, some in the disability rights movement argue that the numbers of young carers and the negative impacts of caring have been exaggerated, and that the children’s rights approach serves to undermine the rights of disabled and/or ill parents. The findings from exploratory research in Ireland suggest that it is not parental illness and/or disability that is a cause for concern, but instead levels of support to and awareness of young carers. It is argued that the term young carer should continue to be used and that services should be developed in Ireland specifically for young carers.

The Impact

The entry of a child into the sphere of justice, regardless of its status, requires the creation of such conditions that would minimize the possibility of the impact of negative factors in the process of administering justice on the child himself. In this regard, one of the effective and important elements in the child-friendly justice system may be the organization of a special courtroom, which would be adapted to hear cases involving a child, which is not widely used in national practice and does not have the appropriate legal regulation in general. In addition, to date, there are no studies that would reflect the problems of organizing a courtroom, in which it is possible to try different categories of cases with the participation of the child. The article attempts to conduct a theoretical and legal study of existing international standards and national legal regulation of the organization of child-friendly courtrooms, identifying the basic elements for its creation, through which it is possible to formulate basic approaches to the administration of child-friendly justice. The author stressed that international standards refer to the components of child-friendly justice, including the issue of creating the most comfortable conditions for the child in the courtroom and directly during the hearing. To substantiate the conclusions, we analyzed the national case law and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, which demonstrates cases of violation of children's rights by not creating appropriate conditions for the trial of children, and emphasizes the importance of the situation in which the trial took place. from litigation involving adults. Positive practices of organization of special courtrooms in some courts of Ukraine are given. Based on the analysis, it was found that the issue of arranging a courtroom friendly to children has no legislative and departmental regulations, in connection with which proposed ways to address the legislative gap in this direction and guidelines for organizing a special courtroom, which is positively assessed. Рrovided children who were invited to court and who had the opportunity to compare the general courtroom and the special.

To Receive

Research has established that disabled young people are at greater risk of experiencing all forms of maltreatment, especially neglect (Jones et al, 2012). Despite increasing awareness of their heightened vulnerability, the maltreatment of disabled children remains under-recognised and is under-reported. Disabled children have the same rights as all children to be protected from maltreatment; to have their concerns listened to; to participate fully in decisions made about them; and to receive help to recover from maltreatment. In this paper Cossar et al’s (2013) framework for understanding the processes of recognition, telling and receiving help following maltreatment from the child’s perspective, is applied to disabled children. The particular barriers that disabled children and those working with them face in recognising and responding to maltreatment are analysed by reviewing what is known about child protection practice with disabled children, mainly in the UK. Suggestions are made about how practice with disabled children could be improved.

The Impact

The consideration of the role of the private business sector with regards to the fulfilment of children’s rights is relatively recent. International attention on the effects of business activities have on children has been fragmented until now, focussing on specific sectors, mainly child labour and economic exploitation. Recent international developments, addressed both to states and business enterprises, propose a more comprehensive approach. This article focuses on two of them: the UNICEF-Global Compact and Save the Children Children’s Rights and Business Principles (CRB Principles), launched in May 2012, and the Committee on the Rights of the Child’s General Comment No. 16 on state obligations regarding the impact of the business sector on children’s rights, published in April 2013.  Both documents represent an important step in the consolidation of an international agenda for the protection of the rights of the child that takes into account the different challenges faced by children in the current economic system.

Rights Issues

This concluding chapter begins with a discussion of how the global coronavirus pandemic called attention to children’s rights issues, specifically in how children were not allowed to participate in decisions directly affecting their “best interests,” as required by CRC. Granting children human rights will fundamentally alter the nature of both democracy and human rights. Giving children citizenship rights will renew democracy, as past enfranchisements have, but also will push democracies to resemble less Western, liberal models. Group rights will predominate in democracies where children are full citizens. Also, the human rights agendas of child-incorporating democracies will be dominated by social and economic rights issues, since children’s rights of protection and provision will be given priority. Finally, children’s participation rights will emerge as crucial in diminishing structural inequality in democratic societies, providing a pathway to a fuller form of social justice predicated on the human rights of children.

The Right

<p>The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted and ratified in 1990 by the UN<br />General Assembly, and signed by most member countries of the United Nations. However, its<br />implementation is slow, complex, and can to-date be considered as incomplete in most<br />countries, particularly as children’s rights often seem to be in contradiction with traditional<br />perceptions of children as dependent, immature and incompetent human beings under their<br />parents’ tutelage. Furthermore, it appears that children’s rights are at risk of colliding with the<br />rights of the family. These issues are even more strongly highlighted when it comes to<br />children with disabilities, as those children often are perceived as vulnerable and incompetent.<br />The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of 2006 emphasizes the right<br />to full participation based on the social model of disability, including the right to inclusive<br />education for children with disabilities. This article addresses both conventions, the<br />contradictions within but also with each other, which impede the rights of children with<br />disabilities as much as traditional perceptions of childhood do. It will then demonstrate how<br />the recognition of the rights of children with disabilities can be improved by using the<br />frameworks of sociology of childhood (Corsaro, 2015) and the work on relationship building<br />and solidarity by Honneth (1995). Lastly, the article will give examples of how to implement<br />and respect the rights of children with disabilities in schools, by using the example of the<br /><em>Index for Inclusion</em>.</p>
