The digital revolution has created unprecedented opportunities for children and young people across the globe to communicate, learn, and socialise.However, browsing the internet as artificial intelligence gathers pace, also presents dangers – from sexual abuse to cyberbullying – highlighting the need for smarter and more effective regulation to keep youngsters safe.As the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) holds its annual forum on Science, Technology and Innovation, UN News's Emma Trager-Lewis spoke to Baroness Kidron, Founder of 5Rights, a UK-based organization dedicated to children's rights in the digital world.Emma began by asking the former film director and producer, who addressed Tuesday's session on harnessing AI for sustainable development, why she first got involved in campaigning for digital rights.

Think back to when you were young. Can you remember a moment when an adult truly listened to you, took your opinion seriously, and made you feel like your voice mattered? Many of us don't have those memories—at least, not until much later in life. But for a child who hears, “You are an expert in your own life. Your voice matters,” the impact can be profound. That's exactly what UNICEF's Child-Friendly Cities Initiative is working toward. And just recently, Decatur, GA, became one of the first cities in the U.S. to receive this designation. But what does it actually mean for a city to be ‘child-friendly'? And how do we ensure that youth participation isn't just symbolic, but truly embedded in governance, policy, and community life?Today, we're joined by  Danielle Goldberg, Managing Director of the Community Alliance for Child Rights, and Anne Day, who is the Senior Director of Research, Evaluation, and Research Partnerships at UNICEF USA.Skip Ahead:(01:31) Why children's voices are often missing in governance, and how this impacts policymaking and funding decisions.(7:56) How the “Child-Friendly Cities Initiative” helps local governments adopt child-centered governance strategies.(13:10) How are cities selected.(15:25) How did Decatur, GA achieve Child-Friendly City status, and what unique steps did they take to become more child-friendly?(18:19) What are the challenges in evaluating large-scale, systems-level initiatives like CFCI, and what indicators define success?Connect with Danielle and Anne and learn more about the Child Friendly Cities Initiative.Read the full show notes HERE.P.S.

As the online world continues to develop, possible risks and harms do too. Business models can encourage the promotion of harmful content via algorithms, and children's data is too often viewed as a commodity. Often, legislation is left scrambling to keep up with tech – and even when it's successfully passed, evidence ‘supporting' it can be conflicting (or simply lacking). In-between all this, the rights of children can be sidelined or infringed upon. But are we yet in a good place for tackling some of these challenges? And if not, where next? Helping Vicki answer this question is Sonia Livingstone, professor at the London School of Economics and Director of the Digital Futures for Children Centre.Talking points:How can regulation stay relevant in a world of generative AI and ‘innovation at speed'? Between parental controls and age verification, are we forgetting to ask key questions about child rights?Should we be following Australia in raising the digital age of consent, or does research say otherwise? Tech Shock is a Parent Zone production.

One hundred years ago the Assembly of the League of Nations, the forerunner to the United Nations, adopted the Geneva Declaration on the Rights of the Child. Pretoria Gordon reports.

I am delighted to share this imperfectly perfect conversation with Je'anna Clements and Sifaan Zavahir. I invited them both to come and talk about the Rights-Centric Education Network. To find out more, listen to their open invitation to join here In this episode, I share with them why I decided to join and to become a Founding Member. While there has been much work done on the Right TO Education - and there is indeed a problem with many children still denied access to education - hardly any attention has been paid to Rights IN Education. Together we explore how we can come together as civil society activists and child rights' defenders from around the world, to create he Rights-Centric Education network to implement a so-far-not-implemented UN Proposal to establish a Rights Based Quality Assurance System for Schools (which we call the RCE Framework and we extend it to all educational contexts, not limited to schools) beginning with a Declaration calling for practices of education be overhauled to ensure Child Rights in Education are respected, protected, and fulfilled. I invite you to listen to the whole conversation to find out more.

A children's rights advocate says calls for changes to New Zealand's child safety systems go well beyond the 2021 death of Tauranga five-year-old Malachi Subecz.   The Independent Children's Monitor has found recommendations made following Malachi's death haven't happened, and tamariki are no safer today than when he died.  But, Save the Children's Child Rights Advocacy Director Jacqui Southey told Ryan Bridge, the problems —and calls for changes— are decades old.   She says a recommendation for agencies to cross-share information and concerns is more than 20 years old, and yet we still fail to do it.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ISO 20121:2012, the Standard for Sustainable events management, was originally created and launched in coordination with the London 2012 olympics. 12 years on, it seems only fitting that its next revision would applied to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. 10 Years on from it's original release, the Standard has received a substantial update to not only bring it in-line with other ISO Standards, but to also address additional elements within event management, such as human rights and legacy. Today Steph Churchman will explain the changes to ISO 20121:2024, what certified companies must do to transition and the consequences of not doing so before the deadline. You'll learn ·      What is ISO 20121? ·      What are the changes to ISO 20121:2024? ·      What steps should certified companies take to complete their transition? ·      What should you be updating? ·      What are the consequences for not completing your transition ahead of the deadline?   Resources ·      Isologyhub     In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Join the isologyhub – To get access to a suite of ISO related tools, training and templates. Simply head on over to isologyhub.com to either sign-up or book a demo. [02:05] Episode summary: Steph will be discussing the changes to the Sustainable Event Management Standard, ISO 20121:2024, in addition to outlining what you should be updating ahead of your transition to the latest version of the Standard. [02:30] What is ISO 20121? – . The Standard for Sustainable events management was originally created and launched in coordination with the London 2012 olympics. When it came to planning the 2012 Olympic Games, they took a step back and considered the impact of required development and construction would have on biodiversity, as well as how they could reduce their Greenhouse Gas emissions and general waste in the preparation and running of the event. 12 years on, it seems only fitting that it's next revision would applied to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. ISO 20121 specifies the requirements for an Event Sustainability Management System to improve the sustainability of events. The standard applies to all types and sizes of organisations involved in the events industry – from caterers, lighting and sound engineers, security companies, stage builders and venues to independent event organisers and corporate and public sector event teams. [04:45] A high-level overview of the changes to ISO 20121:2024 – One of the biggest and most welcomed changes is the fact that the Standard is now aligned with the familiar High Level Structure that many other ISO's follow. This means it will be easier to integrate with other Standards like ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Next, there is a bigger focus on climate change, legacy and human rights. These elements weren't necessarily missing from the previous version, but they weren't a key focus either.  [05:10] Climate Change in ISO 20121:2024 – , ISO 20121:2024 now explicitly requires considering climate change and its impact on your event and stakeholders. So, this might involve carbon emission reduction strategies and adapting to potential climate-related disruptions. Biodiveristy may also fall under this, especially if your events require construction, or take place in an outside venue such as a park or field. A quick reminder that 31 common ISO Standards also received a Climate Change Amendment, so if you haven't addressed that yet, check out our podcast episode and workshop recording to learn about what you need to do. What does this focus on climate change mean for certified companies?: ·      It provides an opportunity for event professionals and event organisers to demonstrate leadership in taking action around climate change ·      Certified organisations are required to ensure that any carbon offsetting completed via carbon credits are credible ·      ISO 20121:2024 Standard facilitates the process of taking credible action and aligns ISO 20121 with big changes relating to climate change [06:55] Human Rights in ISO 20121:2024  – The new version also expands beyond environmental concerns to encompass human and child rights, social impact (including mental health and diversity), and digital responsibility. Your management system will need to address these aspects throughout the event lifecycle. What does the increased focus on human rights in ISO 20121 mean for certified organisations?: ·      Certified organisations will need to demonstrate and adhere to UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. ·      The revised standard also now references social impact in its definitions – primarily in the definition for Sustainable Development and Stewardship. ·      A new Annex has been added – Annex D: Guidance on Human and Child Rights. ·      Added guidance states that event organisers should consult with Human and Child Rights experts and conduct a Human Rights Assessment to identify potential risks to the people as a result of an event and its surrounding activities. ·      You should publish a Human Rights Policy to ensure that Human Rights consideration is embedded in the whole lifecycle of an event. [08:40] Legacy in ISO 20121:2024 – An added focus on Legacy provides an opportunity to event organisers to focus, not only on the few days of event delivery, but also supports in creating enduring results for the hosting community. For example, creating an economic impact for the local population, by providing the opportunity to acquire new skills, to share best practices on how to do events in a more sustainable way or by improving a public place close to the event. [09:20] Join the isologyhub and get access to limitless ISO resources  – From as little as £99 a month, you can have unlimited access to hundreds of online training courses and achieve certification for completion of courses along the way, which will take you from learner to practitioner to leader in no time. Simply head on over to the isologyhub to sign-up or book a demo. [11:30] A strengthening of Stakeholder Engagement – The Standard now emphasizes demonstrating sustainability throughout your supply chain. This might involve you requesting proof of sustainability practices from vendors and incorporating ethical sourcing practices. The definition of stakeholders has also now been expanded to include partners and sponsors. So, you'll need to consider how their sustainability practices align with your event's goals. The policy clause now requires reporting on your sustainability achievements and lessons learned. Building a system for tracking and reporting these aspects will be crucial, and will likely involve a lot more communication between your stakeholders to gather any necessary data for reporting purposes. [12:35] alignment and flexibility – The updated standard aligns with other management system standards thanks to the high level structure update, making integration easier for organizations with existing systems. The revised standard also caters to events of all sizes and complexities, allowing for adaptation to your specific needs. There's now alignment with Global Frameworks, like the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) and the Paris Agreement. If you'd like to learn more about the SDG's, check out a few previous podcast episodes: 106, 107 & 108. [13:30] Transition Deadline – What happens if you miss it? –  Anyone certified to the 2012 version of the Standard will have until the 31st March 2027 to transition to the 2024 version. If you don't, you'll risk losing your certification, and you'll have to go through the whole Stage 1 and 2 Assessment again to get that certificate back, which is obviously quite costly. [14:15] What do you need to do to transition? – Here's a very high-level of the steps you should take: ·      Review and conduct a Gap Analysis: This is to compare your existing system against the new standard's requirements to identify areas needing improvement. ·      Update your Policies and Procedures: specifically your event sustainability policy to reflect the broader range of sustainability issues and incorporate reporting requirements. ·      Develop a plan to engage with a wider range of stakeholders, including sponsors and partners, on sustainability initiatives. ·      Review your Supply Chain Management: This will involve establishing or updating procedures for assessing and integrating sustainability practices throughout your vendor network. ·      Training and Awareness: Any and all changes should be communicated. Educate your team on the new standard's requirements and integrate them into event planning and execution processes. ·      Carry out Internal Audits: Once you've implemented the changes, audit against the new Standard and ensure you're compliant. Then you'll need to prepare for your Certification Body Transition visit. [15:30] What Specific actions can you take to update your ISO 20121 Management System? Here are some suggested actions to address Human Rights and Children's Rights: ·      Update your event sustainability policy to explicitly state your commitment to respecting human rights and children's rights throughout the event lifecycle. ·      Update your Risk Assessments as you're going to need to identify potential human rights risks associated with your event, such as discrimination in hiring or unfair labour practices within the supply chain. ·      Review your Supplier Management as you'll need to ensure your suppliers uphold human rights standards. ·      Engage with relevant stakeholders like human rights organizations or local communities to understand potential human rights concerns and incorporate their feedback into your planning.   A few other actions you could do include: ·      Partnering with organizations promoting fair labor practices and human rights. ·      Including human rights clauses in contracts with suppliers and partners. ·      Conduct training for staff on identifying and mitigating human rights risks. ·      Implementing a grievance process for reporting potential human rights violations. [17:00] What further actions can you take to address Legacy?: ·      Integrate legacy planning into the early stages of event development. Consider aspects like infrastructure, also workforce development (for example training opportunities for local communities), and universal accessibility for people with disabilities. ·      Develop metrics to measure the positive legacy of your event. This could involve tracking the number of jobs created, increased accessibility measures implemented, or infrastructure donated to the community. ·      Consider the potential to partner with local organizations to ensure the event's legacy benefits the community in the long term. This might involve collaborating on infrastructure projects or workforce development initiatives. ·      You should also Conduct a post-event impact assessment to evaluate the event's legacy. [18:00] Reporting on the social, economic and environmental impacts – The first step should be to develop a Reporting Framework: This framework should consider relevant metrics for social (e.g., job creation, diversity), economic (e.g., local business involvement), and environmental (e.g., carbon footprint, waste generation) impacts. Next, you need to Implement a system for collecting and analyzing data related to your event's social, economic, and environmental performance. And lastly, choose appropriate communication channels for your sustainability report, such as your website, annual reports, or dedicated sustainability reports. You could look at specific reporting software or get help from a third-party such as Blackmores.   We'd recommend purchasing a copy of the Standard so you can review the specific changes yourself, in addition to reviewing the updated guidance provided in the Annexes.

A new report blasts California for continuing to take federal benefits away from foster children, to help balance the state budget. The nationwide study gives California and 43 other states a grade of F, for diverting funds to foster care agencies, without ever even telling kids that the money is rightfully theirs. This has been a practice for many years, but in recent years there's been a movement to ban it, which Arizona has done, and there's federal legislation in the works. California applies for Social Security disability and survivor benefits in the names of foster children, then collects the money and uses it to fund state agencies that provide foster care. But that money is supposed to go to the kids themselves. A bill to end this practice passed unanimously in the state legislature last year, but Governor Newsom vetoed it, saying it would blow a hole in the state budget, and that if lawmakers want to pass a bill that affects the budget, it has to be part of the budget-writing process. For more, KCBS Political Reporter Doug Sovern, along with KCBS Radio's news anchors Brett Berkhart and Patti Reising, spoke with Jessica Heldman, the Fellmeth-Peterson Associate Professor in Child Rights, at the Children's Advocacy Institute at the University of San Diego School of Law, the organization that has produced this new study, which is called “Foster Care, or Foster Con?” 

The battle against child marriage around the world seems to be gaining some traction. According to the latest UNICEF data, about 1 in 5 young women between the ages of 20 and 24 were married as children. This represents a 5 percent decrease from a decade ago.  The negative impact of child marriage is widely documented. Child brides suffer domestic violence more often, drop out of school in greater numbers, and are more likely to experience poverty. Curbing child marriage is a United Nations sustainable development goal. India accounts for some of the progress. While Indian girls still account for one-third of child brides in the world, the prevalence of child marriage there has declined about 7 percent in the past eight years. On today's episode of the Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, we'll hear how India has been able to reduce its child marriage rates. First, host Reena Ninan revisits a conversation she had in Season 2 with Mabel van Oranje, the founder of Girls Not Brides and the global movement VOW for Girls.  Then, journalist Ayushi Shah reports on a girls' support group organized by the Indian nonprofit Child Rights and You (CRY) in the village of Tondar—and specifically how members of the group help girls resist pressure from their families to marry young.  The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs at Northwestern University.

On November 21, Pranshu who is a 16-year old queer child, died of suicide in Ujjain. The school going child was a self taught makeup artist, with nearly 17,000 followers on Instagram. Pranshu posted a reel dressed in a sari, which went viral during Diwali, getting more than 4000 comments, most of which were homophobic in nature. Last year, another class 10 student, Aarvey Malhotra died of suicide. His mother, Aarti Malhotra has alleged that Aarvey was bullied mercilessly in school on account of his sexuality, and that his school authorities were not responsive to their complaints and failed to protect him. In the recent past, there have been many conversations about protection of children in the social media space. Whistleblowers of Meta have alleged that Meta knew its products were harming children, particularly young girls but did not do enough to protect them. In October, many US states filed a lawsuit arguing that Meta has contributed to a youth mental health crisis. What is missing in these discussions are the experiences of queer children.  Suno India's Menaka Rao spoke to Rohin Bhatt, a queer rights lawyer and activist and a bioethicist to understand what kind of legal and policy framework can help protect queer children, but also help create a safe space online.  References 'My Child Did Nothing Wrong,' Mother of Queer Artist Who Died By Suicide in MP “The school has killed me”: Arvey Malhotra's mother recalls his suicide note and elaborates on the bullying that led to her son's death; awaits justice even after 4 months - Times of India Congress Is Pushing An Online Safety Bill Supported By Anti-LGBTQ Groups https://twitter.com/BhattRohin/status/1729734070261658026/photo/1 Yes, We Exist (@yesweexistindia) • Instagram photos and videos Filmmaker Onir says his movie script on gay soldier has been rejected by defence ministry: 'I won't demean anybody'.

In this episode, our hosts Bruce Lesley and Messellech “Selley” Looby chat with children's activist Arnold “Arnie” Fege about the importance of defending public education against attacks both past and present. As a longtime teacher, principal, superintendent and now president of Public Advocacy for Kids (PAK), a national organization devoted to education and child advocacy, Arne brings a thorough perspective to education policy and practice. Arne champions parental engagement, but challenges the motives of so-called “parental rights” groups who want to privatize public education, ban books, and minimize the voices of LGBTQ+ students and students of color. Arnie, who worked with Robert F. Kennedy and served as school desegregation director in Michigan, traces the roots of this movement all the way back to Brown v. Board of Education and efforts to maintain racial segregation in schools.Learn more about the far-right's attempts to dismantle public education:Newsletter: The Alliance for Student Liberty, By Lily Klam Blog: Why Education Is a Children's Issue and a Matter of Child Rights, By Bruce Lesley Publication: Children's Budget 2023 by First Focus on ChildrenBe sure to check out Arnold Fege's publications and follow him on Twitter.

On February 3, Assam's chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched what he called “war against child marriage.” The state police has now arrested more than 3000 people who allegedly facilitated child marriages and said that about 5000 more people are still at large. Pranjal Baruah reported for this episode from Assam. This is the first podcast in the two part series on this subject. In this episode we try to understand if this kind of crackdown benefits those who the state government wants to rescue- the women and girls who were married when they were children. We hear the stories of women who are protesting against this move, as well as child rights activists Miguel Das Queah and Bharati Ali from Haq: Centre for Child Rights.

This is one of the things many survivors of cults struggle with when confronting their parents about how their decisions have affected them. More often than not, the parent will excuse their behavior because they had good intentions. Umbrella Rebellion is a podcast where we share our experience in the ATI/IBLP and fundamental cults. We are on a journey of healing and exposing the teachings that lead to and justify abuse. It is our hope that those that are experiencing abuse can find support and escape from it.

This episode features Suzanne Smith (Master of Palliative Care student, Flinders University, Australia; Victorian Paediatric Rehabilitation Service, Australia), Dr Megan Doherty (University of Ottawa, ON, Canada; Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Ottawa, ON, Canada) and Dr Mostofa Kamal Chowdhury  (BangabandhuSheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh). What is already known about the topic: The majority of children who need, but cannot access essential palliative care and pain relief, live in low-and middle-income countries. An estimated 10 million Bangladeshi children live with a disability and associated serious health-related suffering that may lead to premature death. Children from low- and middle-income countries are underrepresented or absent from existing palliative care reviews. What this paper adds: This review illuminates the extreme health-related suffering experienced by children with disability and their families in Bangladesh in the physical, social, and emotional/spiritual domains. Financial hardship, stigma, limited knowledge and compromised children's rights impede access to healthcare in Bangladesh. Children with disability living in an urban marginalised society and Rohingya children with disability living in refugee camps in Bangladesh may receive care commensurate with the International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care revised definition of palliative care Implications for practice, theory or policy: This review identifies innovative and novel models of effective service delivery, outside of mainstream healthcare settings, which combine both palliative care and rehabilitation principles. Further strengthening Child Rights in Bangladesh will reduce serious health-related suffering. Collaborations between Bangladeshi and International researchers are productive and should continue to inform future service development.

When I first heard about Katy Faust's organization, Them Before Us, I was intrigued. Childrens' rights? Aren't those built in? You would think so, but it's not truly the case in modern society. Them Before Us is a global movement defending children's right to their mother and father. What does this mean though? It means that in all things -- from divorce to abortion to surrogacy to remarriage and more -- children deserve to be put first. As Katy deftly educates in her book, children who grow up in a family with married, biological parents fare the very best in all life circumstances. There are always outliers, but statistical majorities show this is true. In this episode we talk about: How no-fault divorce led to horrible outcomes for children How surrogacy & egg/sperm donation leave children with a primal trauma wound from birth How children are harmed when there is either no father or no mother in the home How the most dangerous person for a child is an unrelated family member living in the home (ie. mom's boyfriend) What it would mean to truly put children FIRST instead of leading with adult sympathy and desires above all. This is an important and fascinating conversation. I loved talking with Katy and share her heart for childrens' rights.

041322 New TSA SUBWAY Checks Intriguing Theory On Disney And Child Rights by Kate Dalley

The Karnataka High Court on 15 March effectively upheld the government imposed ban on hijab in educational institutions in the state and further stated that the right to wear a hijab is not constitutionally protected. Referring to constitutional guarantees, Hazra Shifa, one of the students who filed the petition in the court, said, “We were expecting so much from our constitution and country. If today Dr BR Ambedkar were alive, he would have literally cried." As examinations are expected to begin in April and the students said they would seek further legal course and will approach the Supreme Court to intervene and stay the order. But the ongoing chaos over this issue for the past few months, especially after the verdict, has brought forward the question of how it is impacting the education of Muslim women. In our last episode, we broke down the high court verdict and why it may be problematic. In today's episode, The Quint spoke to Aliya Assadi, one of the students who filed the petition on the effect it will have on her education. You will also hear from Mihira Sood, Executive Director of Centre for Child Rights & Juvenile Justice and a professor at the National Law University.
