41	Migrant Child Labour in Turkey : A critical analysis of multilevel governance targeting migrant child labour in Turkey İren Yıldızca, Bediz Büke January 2019 (has links) Entering the 9th year of the Syrian Crisis, there are still more than 400 thousand school aged Syrian children considered ‘out-of-school’ in Turkey. Several previous studies as well as reports of International Organisations and Civil Society Organisations such as UNICEF and Support to Life argue that out-of-school Syrian children have formed part of the Turkish informal labour market. Restrained migration policies incorporated with the needs of global labour markets have caused precarisation of the migrant labour, and in the case of Turkey precarisation of migrant child labour as well. The aim of the current study is to critically analyse the strategies and interventions of this multilevel governance targeting migrant child labour. Hence, a qualitative research method was employed in order to answer the study’s research questions. First, document analysis was conducted to identify the multilevel institutional framework; and second, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with selected informants working for International Organisations. By facilitating Carol Bacchi’s ‘What is the problem represented to be?’ (WPR) approach, each actor’s strategies and interventions directed to migrant child labour are scrutinised. While each actor by definition manages to identify the causes of (migrant) child labour, the strategies and interventions are constrained by the conventional migration management approach as well as the discourses of “the best interest of the child” and “fair trade”. child rights child labour migration human rights informal labour market Migrant Child Labour Syrian Child Labour Precarity Multilateral Governance Migration Management International Organisations Social Sciences Samhällsvetenskap

Resultatet visar att handlingsutrymmet påverkar i vilken utsträckning barnrättsperspektivet tas i beaktandet i handläggningsprocessen. Socialsekreterarna beskriver också att kunskap om lagstiftning är förutsättning för att kunna beakta ett barnrättsperspektiv inom försörjningsstöd. Vidare visar även resultatet att det är gemensamt för socialsekreterarna att de anser att det är vårdnadshavarna som har det huvudsakliga ansvaret att tillgodose barnets grundläggande behov. Slutligen indikerar resultatet även att det finns brister när det kommer till att följa organisatoriska riktlinjer till följd av hög arbetsbelastning och utmanande arbetsuppgifter / This study aims to examine social workers experiences about the child rights perspective in the processing of social assistance. The study also aims to examine how organizational guidelines affect how the child rights perspective is taken into account in the processing of social assistance. The result shows that social workers, in the role as street level bureaucrats, are affected by their discretion to what extent the child rights perspective is taken into account. Social workers also describe that knowledge about legislation is a condition for being able to take the child rights perspective into account. The results show that social workers emphasize that the caregivers have the main responsibility to fulfill their children's needs. In conclusion, the results indicate that social workers, who work with social assistance, experience that there is a limited discretion when it comes to child rights perspective in the processing of social assistance. The result also indicates that there are deficiencies when it comes to following the organizational guidelines due to high workload and resource demanding work tasks social assistance child rights perspective social workers discretion street level bureaucrats organizational guidelines försörjningsstöd barnrättsperspektivet socialsekreterare handlingsutrymme gräsrotsbyråkrat organisatoriska förutsättningar Social Work Socialt arbete
44	The Discourse and Practice of Child Protagonism: Complexities of Intervention in Support of Working Children’s Rights in Senegal Lavan, Daniel 20 April 2012 (has links) Contesting international strategies for combatting child labour that derive from modern, Western conceptions of childhood, several developing country organizations have embraced the principle of child protagonism by declaring that working children can become the leading agents in struggles to advance their interests when they are mentored in forming their own independent organizations. This thesis first explores how an African NGO, informed by its urban animation experiences, developed its own specific discourse of child protagonism and employed it as the basis for establishing an African working children’s organization designed to provide compensatory literacy and skills training and to empower members to improve their own and other children’s working conditions. The thesis considers this foundational child protagonism discourse in light of data collected in Senegal by means of participant observation and interviews in grassroots groups and associations of working children, as well as in the offices of both the local NGO and its international NGO donor. Fieldwork revealed limitations of the specific child protagonism practice pursued over the past two decades. Specifically, redirecting resources from direct pedagogical accompaniment of grassroots working child groups towards bureaucratic capacity building for the “autonomization” of higher hierarchical levels of the organization, as well as towards international meetings, has resulted in the organization’s diminished impact for vulnerable groups in Dakar, particularly migrant girl domestic workers. Deepening implication with international donors has forced shifts in the priorities of the local NGO and the working children’s organization it facilitates, yet the two have been largely successful in buffering donor probes precisely into the ground level effectiveness of their child protagonism strategy. No previous independent research has sought to confront the discourse of child protagonism with a comprehensive examination of a working children’s organization’s practice, from its most local processes to its international dimensions and donor relations. child rights child labour child work working children marginalized youth alternative education skills training basic education Africa Senegal informal economy child domestics international development NGOs aidnography child protagonism child participation capacity building

Our qualitative research has been conducted by analyzing life stories through autobiographical literature and podcastinterviews. The results of the study show that the perpetrator, social networks and the authorities are important for understanding aggravating and enabling circumstances in custody disputes for victimized parents. Furthermore, the results show that parents who have experienced violence manage paradoxical demands from authorities in custody disputes through both adaptation and resistance. Yet, regardless of the strategy, they still need to adapt to the authorities. This leads to the lack of power for parents trying to protect their children from an abusive parent and authority decisions that put their lives, safety and health at risk. Consequently, authorities risk unintentionally reproducing the vulnerability for parents and children who are victims of domestic violence.

The aim of this qualitative study is to explore the obstacles to gender equality in the right to healthcare for children under five years in East Champaran, Bihar, North India. Ten key informant interviews and nine focus group discussions with mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers were conducted to research the barriers of guardians to accessing healthcare for their children, including their root beliefs and choices, which causes health inequalities. It was found that a strong patriarchal tradition predominates in these communities in North India, which favour sons and disadvantages daughters in healthcare provision. Despite the existing child rights and human rights policies that have been legislated, in India traditional practices that discriminate against female children remain dominant in the society, and limit development in East Champaran, Bihar, North India. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies) Child rights approach Right to healthcare Human development Capability approach Gender equality North India Children under five 362.19892000954123 Child care services -- India -- Bihar Children's rights -- India -- Bihar Community development -- India -- Bihar Child development -- India -- Bihar

For those who have children with their perpetrator there is an increased risk for post-separation violence (Fleury, Sullivan & Bybee, 2000). The aim of this study has been to examine the child rights perspective through how the court judges and resonates in custody disputes with information regarding violence and therefore a possible risk for post-separation violence. Data was retrieved in the form of 34 custody cases from the court of appeal. In order to fulfil the purpose of the study a multi-method investigation has been used, both a quantitative content analysis and a discourse analysis. The results showed that the parent who was mainly referred to as the perpetrator was assigned visitation rights in 64.4 % of the cases, joint custody in 46.6 % and housing in 20 %. The main result showed that the courts ruled the child’s right to close and good contact with both parents outweighs the risk of post-separation abuse, either towards the other parent or the child himself. Children should be allowed to grow up with both parents. However, one could question at what price.
