LAUNCH OF THE PUBLICATION «CHILDREN IN FOCUS: REFLECTIONS FROM THE STATE AND FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS»

The IIN-OAS, in its commitment to produce knowledge for the promotion and protection of the human rights of children and adolescents, launches, together with Arigatou International, the publication «Children in Perspective: Reflections from the State and Faith-based Organizations».

The idea of this publication arises as part of the learning process that both organizations carry out through the course «Strengthening multi-stakeholder collaboration for children’s rights – States and faith-based civil society organizations», which we understand as a process of reflection, dialogue and advocacy on the human rights of children from the perspective of the religions that are part of the Global Network of Religions for Children: Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Ba’hai Faith, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikh Faith.

Our intention is that by reading it, we can reflect and find proposals that allow us to enrich the dialogue between guarantors of rights, which translate into actions for the promotion and protection of the rights of children and adolescents.

The launch of the publication will take place on June 20, at 10:00am Montevideo time, and will include the participation of the authors of the articles in an open dialogue on the promotion of the rights of children and adolescents in areas such as the right to play, climate justice, religious values, the right to education and the right to live in a family.
