Concept Note:
International Seminar on Woman & Child Rights: Issues and Challenges will critically re-examine the current theory, law, policy and practice of women and child rights and the potential for more women and child-sensitive globalization. There is in particular the need to consider the potential for concurrent action on domestic and international fronts, comprising policy changes, specific child-focused programmes, and child-sensitive laws and initiatives. In this respect, the Convention constitutes a benchmark, yet it is also necessary to question whether the Convention and its implementation produce social justice for children.
