Convergence and Divergence between the UN Convention on the Rights of the Children and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the ChildAdu-Gyamfi, Jones, Keating, F. January 2013 (has links)
yes / There have been many praises as well as criticisms against both the UN Convention
on the rights of the child and the African Charter on the rights and welfare of the
child. However, many writers are of the view that the African charter was an
unnecessary duplication of the convention. This paper outlines some of the
differences and similarities between the UN convention on the rights of the child,
and the African children’s charter. The paper traces the development of children’s
right treaties internationally and on the African continent, and argues that the
adoption of the African children’s charter is in tandem with the United Nation’s
call for regional arrangements for the protection and promotion of human rights, therefore not an unnecessary duplication of the UN convention.

The psychological impact of caregiving on carers of HIV/AIDS orphansGuqa, Valencia Veliswa 19 September 2013 (has links)
HIV/AIDS epidemic has caused much devastation and has left many children destitute and in
need of care and supervision. The present study investigated the psychological impact of
caring on non-professional caregivers of HIV/AIDS orphans and children affected by
HIV/AIDS. General systems theory stands as the epistemological framework informing the
study. The study made use of a qualitative phenomenological approach to explore the lived
experiences of eight non-professional caregivers who participated in the study .From the
themes that were abstracted it was evident that caring for HIV/AIDS orphans is emotionally,
physically and mentally strenuous for the caregivers. It was better recommended that
caregivers be given recognition for their challenging work and be included in the planning
and development of programmes that affect their caregiving role. Furthermore emotional,
psycho-social, and income-generating skills support programmes including training and
educational programmes should be implemented. This will alleviate the distress inherent to
the caregiving role and to equip them with the necessary skills for handling the demands of
their work. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)
