A Swedish project in India: An implementation studyKvist, Martin January 2011 (has links)
The purpose with this paper is to study potential enabling and preventing factors when introducing a Swedish project in India. I have introduced a Swedish projecin India. The project aims to strengthen young men's self-esteem and to discuss respect, equality and children rights. The basis for the project is the UN convention on the rights of the child. The project was introduced ten university students. These university students were trained in conversation methods and wilimplement discussion meetings with young guys. I have studied the implementation process and conducted interviews with the participants. The aim with this paper was to gain a deeper insight into how best to implement a Swedisproject in India. The result shows that implementation process is complicated, buthat the implementation of a Swedish project in India is more than possible.

Effekten av inkorporering av barnkonventionen i Sverige / The effect of incorporating the Convention on the Rights of the Child inSwedenMariam, Abdelrahman January 2022 (has links)
This is a qualitative study based on semi-structured, open interviews with three social workers whose tasks involve taking decisive decisions regarding children. The purpose of the study is to investigate social workers' experiences of the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) into Swedish law and how it affects their work after the incorporation of 2020. The purpose of the incorporation was that all the changes should be in benefit for children's participation. And that the CRC should focus on the workof social workers, with demands and responsibilities. The incorporation has so far proven tobe positive. The social workers have presented various programs and support materials forthe social workers in order to facilitate full use of the Convention on the Rights of the Childin children's investigations. Overall, my findings suggest that the incorporation of CRC into Swedish law has affected social workers' practices due to the fact that children’s human rights are taking a more prominent position.

IMPLEMENTERING AV BARNKONVENTIONEN PÅ BARNAVÅRDSCENTRALER : En kvalitativ jämförande studie om implementeringsprocessen av barnkonventionen som lag i Stockholm och Värmlands region / Implementation of Convention on the Rights of the ChildVahdani, Sara, Mellqvist, Petra January 2022 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether, and in such cases how, children's rights have been strengthened by the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child as a law in Sweden. The study also aims to analyze the similarities and differences between the Värmland and Stockholm regions. The main questions that will be answered are as follows: - To what extent have child healthcare centers in each region adapted their activities since the enforcement of the Convention on the Rights of the Child as law?- To what extent are there resources for the implementation of the new law in child healthcare centers?- What level of knowledge is there about the new law (and what is considered to be the children's best interests) in child healthcare centers?- Is it possible to explain on the basis of implementation theory (want, can, and understand) the extent to which child healthcare centers have adapted their work and activities to accommodate the new law? This study is a qualitative case study using a common theoretical framework, in which we have chosen to interview care staff at child healthcare centers. The study chose the interviewees as they represent the final stage of policy implementation in the political governance chain. The analysis shows that the staff agreed that it is positive that the convention has been given a higher status since being enforced as a law. The result shows that the experience of implementing the new law differed between regions. Whether the newly enforced law strengthens the child's rights is, however, still difficult to assess as some interviewees find it difficult to interpret whether or not to refer to the Convention in certain contexts. This can be problematic, especially in situations with no open dialogue about the healthcare center’s' working methods and approach. This can result in a lack of practice when applying strategic methods (based on the legal principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child) that aim to protect the rights of the child.

Pedagogies of Sustenance and Survival: An Ethnographic Case Study with the BajauCoulson, Jonthon Vincent January 2024 (has links)
For centuries, the Bajau people sailed the seas between what we now refer to as Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines on houseboats of their own construction. Adept sustenance divers, they forage the sea floor for sea cucumber, fish, black coral and more, often spending over 60% of their working day underwater. On a single breath, the best of them can reach depths of 70 feet, stay submerged for five minutes, and see twice as well as we can. These activities, learned and transferred over generations, have prompted genetic adaptations that allow the Bajau to survive and thrive amphibiously.
The Bajau are now being targeted by States and NGOs to receive education aid. Indonesia, as a signatory of the UNICEF Convention on the Rights of the Child, has sought to provide primary education to all children. Although well-intended, such efforts presuppose the Bajau are not capable of adequately educating their own children, and have prompted their mass sedentarization. Such attempts to help are predicated on the notion that education must occur in land-based schools, which has potentially devastating consequences for sea-centric people such as the Bajau, for which mandating attendance in land-based schools constitutes a threat of epistemicide.
Such solutions threaten geographically mobile people because their lifestyle is taken up as a problem to be solved, molded to fit with education developers’ conceptions of education. This preoccupation with movement as a problem detracts from serious consideration of the unique learning needs, livelihoods, and values of mobile aid recipients. Instead of learning from Bajau ways of knowing and being, we’ve sought to assimilate them. Instead of helping them become self-sufficient, education is rendering them reliant on the State. Moving people into dependence is not what the State intended or the Bajau desire.
Human movement is complicated the politics of nations now more than ever before. Governments use education specifically to gain control over people living in movement via spatial, social, and cultural manipulation. Nomads and refugees – among the most marginalized social groups in this globalized era – expose tension between two otherwise-agreeable maxims: that all cultures are valuable and deserving of respect, and that all children have a right to a quality education. Because common conceptions of education involve sedentary schools, the education provided to moving people is often hegemonic or neocolonial.
What’s done is done – the Bajau who have sedentarized cannot return to a nomadic lifestyle. They did so to access education that can help them transition their intellective competencies to life on land and survive in new social and environmental contexts. The education they have been provided has fallen short, in large part because Bajau leaders and teachers have been excluded from planning processes or involvement otherwise.
This study seeks to make legible the wisdom and ways of life of communities of once-nomadic Bajau people who have sedentarized in Southeastern Sulawesi, as well as the role ethnopedagogies play in sustaining and revitalizing their epistemo-ontologies. What perspectives and practices belong to their epistemes and ontologies? How are their epistemes being sustained, revitalized, and reduplicated cross-generationally? How are Bajau people sedentarized in Southeastern Sulawesi making use of schools, teachers, and curricula provided by the Indonesian State, and how have Bajau people and wisdom been incorporated into them?
To contribute to the understandings of theorists, ethnographers, government policymakers, non-governmental development workers, inter/national education development practitioners, nomads and other displaced people, Bajau leaders, and interested others about how the provision of sedentary schooling has impacted and could better respond to the expression and transmission of culturally situated wisdom and ways of life of Bajau people, this ethnographical study provides thick description in the form of vignettes that offer insight into the experiences of people in Bajau communities in Southeast Sulawesi. In so doing, the vignettes also support calls for rethinking teacher recruitment, preparation, placement, and retention, school design and use, academic calendars, and more. The vignettes enable this study to explore pedagogical models that have the potential to sustain and perhaps even revitalize culturally situated wisdom.

Teachers’ beliefs about listening to students’ voices in Sweden : – implementing Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in compulsory schoolsYamada, Arisa January 2024 (has links)
This thesis investigates the implementation of Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and associated challenges from the perspectives of Swedish teachers on listening to students’ voices. Using a qualitative case study in a Swedish compulsory school, semi-structured interview for teachers of 7-9 grades in compulsory school was conducted, and data was analyzed with thematic analysis. The study explores teachers’ beliefs and practices regarding participation, emphasizing children’s entitlement to express opinions and influence decision-making processes. The research reveals a range of perspectives among teachers, highlighting the complexities of teacher-student relationships and how teachers perceive student voices. Teachers emphasize the importance of both listening to and guiding students, demonstrating a practical balance in classroom contexts and recognizing the benefits of fostering student engagement for improved learning outcomes. The study provides examples of the successful application of participatory concepts, challenging adult skepticism about student participation. These findings address gaps in research by focusing on teachers’ perspectives on student participation in compulsory school settings, an area previously understudied. The insights gained inform strategies to enhance student participation, promoting the practical implementation of Article 12 of UNCRC. Moreover, the study challenges hierarchical participation models, emphasizing the importance of contextual factors in effective student involvement strategies. This research offers valuable insights for educators aiming to empower students in diverse classroom environments while considering specific educational contexts and needs.

Trafficking of children : the case of South AfricaSigfridsson, Tove 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The trafficking of children, with the purpose of sexual exploitation, has attained significant attention in the international realm. At present, children‟s human rights are protected by a number of international treaties adopted by the United Nations, which are also ratified by many states. These treaties have a norm setting function which influences domestic laws in the countries that have ratified them. The „1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child‟, the „Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime‟ together with the „2002 Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography‟ are important treaties with norm setting functions. These treaties influence international attitudes and policy measures concerning child trafficking. South Africa, the focus of this study, is in the process of creating a comprehensive legislative framework with the aim to protect children and combat child trafficking. Thus, this thesis examines how international treaties have impacted on South Africa‟s domestic legislation with regards to child trafficking.
The influence of international treaties and norms on domestic policy and norms regarding child trafficking is illuminated in this study. This analysis builds on a model put forward by Sikkink and Finnemore (1998) of how norms are created by norm entrepreneurs. The assumption is that norms develop in phases through different platforms of organizations and states and these norms eventually become the status quo. This study provides an overview of international and domestic law pertaining to child trafficking as well as a theoretical discussion on the evolution of these norms. A theoretical framework of constructivism and to a lesser extent institutionalism is applied as an analytical tool in order to critically analyse the influence of international treaties on domestic policies in South Africa. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Handel in kinders, met die doel van seksuele uitbuiting, het aansienlike aandag gekry in die internasionale arena. Op die oomblik word die menseregte van kinders beskerm deur 'n aantal internasionale ooreenkomste wat deur die Verenigde Nasies gesluit is, wat ook deur baie state bekragtig is. Hierdie verdrae het 'n standaard normstelllingsfunksie wat binnelandse wette beïnvloed in die lande wat hierdie verdrae bekragtig. Die "1989 Konvensie van die Regte van die Kind", Die Protokol ter Voorkoming, Onderdrukking en Straf van Mensehandel, veral Vroue en Kinders, ter aanvulling van die Verenigde Nasies se Konvensie teen Transnasionale Georganiseerde Misdaad saam met die 2002 Opsionele Protokol tot die Konvensie van die Regte van die Kind op die Verkoop van Kinders, Kinderprostitusie en Kinderpornografie is belangrike verdrae met standaard normstellingsfunksies.
Hierdie internasionale verdrae beïnvloed houdings en beleidsmaatreëls oor kinderhandel. Suid Suid-Afrika die fokus van hierdie studie, is in die proses om van 'n omvattende wetgewende raamwerk te ontwikkel wat daarop gemik is om kinders te beskerm en kinderhandel te bestry. Hierdie verhandeling ondersoek die impak van internasionale verdrae op die Suid-Afrika se plaaslike wetgewing met betrekking tot kinderhandel. Die invloed van internasionale verdrae en normes op binnelandse beleid en normes ten opsigte van kinderhandel word in hierdie studie ondersoek. Hierdie ontleding is gebaseer op 'n model van Sikkink en Finnemore (1998) oor hoe norme deur norm-entrepreneurs geskep word. Die aanname is dat normes in fases ontwikkel deur middel van verskillende platforms van organisasies en state en dat hierdie norme uiteindelik die status quo word. Hierdie studie gee 'n oorsig van internasionale en plaaslike wetgewing met betrekking tot kinderhandel, sowel as 'n teoretiese ontleding van die evolusie van hierdie standaarde. 'n Teoretiese raamwerk van konstruktivisme en tot 'n mindere mate institutionalisme word toegepas as 'n analitiese instrument om die invloed van internasionale verdrae op die binnelandse beleid van Suid-Afrika krities te analiseer.
Sleutelterme: kinderhandel, internasionale reg, norme, konstruktivisme, beleid, Suid-Afrika.

“Girls for sale” : Understanding the difficulties in protecting girls in Nepal from being exploited for prostitutionSemenets, Natasha January 2019 (has links)
The number of girls that are being exploited for prostitution in Nepal has increased in recent years, and girls suffer a high risk of being exposed when they come from already poorly conditions. Previously, uneducated girls could be found in the adult entertainment sector, but nowadays even educated girls are being exploited. This thesis aims to gain further understanding to why girls are being exposed and why it is difficult to protect them. By conducting qualitive interviews with employees from several NGOs working to protect girls from being exploited for prostitution, insights has been given about socio-structural factors that influences the situation for girls. By examining these factors with support from theoretical approaches that highlights social injustice, gender discrimination and structural oppression this thesis presents how different factors affect the work of protecting girls, and how the same factors also are contributing to why girls get exposed. The state of Nepal shows several efforts in trying to eradicate the problem and have ratified both the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography. The state has also made changes in national law that shall promote and strengthen children's rights. Although the laws are strong, the protection for girls is insufficient and girls are vulnerable to being exploited by traffickers. The Government of Nepal, NGOs and several other authorities are working together to eradicate the problem, but the work needs be strengthened, coordinated and responsive to influencing factors simultaneously in order to achieve a long-term solution. This thesis suggest that cultural norms need to be challenged more and that the Government of Nepal needs to oversee how structural injustices affect opportunities for girls to take part of social benefits. In addition, knowledge about legal and moral rights needs to be increased among girls and in society as a whole, moreover the knowledge about trafficking and prostitution needs to be spread.

”Barn har rättigheter, vuxna har ett ansvar.” : En diskursanalys om barnperspektivet inom barn- och ungdomsenheter i SocialtjänstenPettersson, Ida, Qvist, Sandra January 2015 (has links)
Syftet med vår studie var att att se vilka diskurser som finns kring barnperspektivet bland socionomer verksamma inom barn- och ungdomsenheter. Genom att identifiera diskurser kring detta begrepp var även målet att kunna bidra med ny kunskap kring hur barnperspektivet kommer till utryck och tolkas av utredarna. Vi har använt oss av kvalitativa enkäter med öppna frågor. Enkäterna delades ut till socionomer verksamma inom barn- och ungdomsenheter i åtta kommuner i Sverige. Resultatet har sedan tagits fram med hjälp av diskursanalys. Den valda analysmetoden bygger på Laclau och Mouffes diskursteori. Vi har sedan vidare analyserat vårt resultat utifrån teorier om makt samt med hjälp av tidigare forskning. Vi har utifrån vårt material identifierat tre stycken nodalpunkter, kring vilka diskursen centreras. Detta har vi kunnat göra genom att vi samlat alla utsagor, brutit ner dessa och hittat gemensamma nämnare som i sin tur hjälpt oss att identifiera nodalpunkterna. De funna nodalpunkterna är barnet i fokus, barns perspektiv samt vuxnas ansvar för barns bästa. Nodalpunkterna visar tydligt på vad som anses vara viktigt och därmed hur utredarna talar kring barnperspektivet och dess innehåll. Vi har även sett att utredarna skiljer på begreppen barns bästa respektive barns vilja och att barns vilja ses som en del av barns bästa. De funna nodalpunkterna kan även säga något om både utredarnas syn samt arbete med barns bästa och barns vilja.

Barns möjlighet att uttrycka sin åsikt : En kvantitativ aktstudie om barns närvaro inom socialtjänstens förhandsbedömningar / Children's possibility to express their opinion : A quantitative file study about the presence of children within the preliminary assessment in social servicesFlodén, Catarina, Keresztes, Tina January 2014 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie är att söka svar på i vilken omfattning barn har getts möjlighet att uttrycka sin åsikt inom socialtjänstens förhandsbedömningar som inte har lett till utredning. Detta genom att mäta i vilken omfattning barnets närvaro har dokumenterats inom ramen för en förhandsbedömning som inte har lett till utredning. För att besvara studiens syfte användes utvalda variabler för att ta reda på om det finns eventuella omständigheter som kan ha påverkat om barnet har getts möjlighet att uttrycka sin åsikt. Barnets ställning inom socialtjänsten är stärkt på ett flertal vis och denna studie tar avstamp i vad socialtjänstlagen (SFS 2001:453), FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter och Stockholms stads riktlinjer för socialtjänsten fastställer om barnets möjlighet till att uttrycka sin åsikt i ärenden som rör dess person. Studien är en kvantitativ aktstudie och empirin består av 384 förhandsbedömningar som inte lett till utredning. Förhandsbedömningarna är genomförda av samma stadsdel inom Stockholms stad under 2013. Genom att se till dessa dokument gav det oss möjlighet att mäta i vilken omfattning barnets närvaro har dokumenterats i förhandsbedömningarna och på så vis getts möjlighet att uttrycka sin åsikt. Den huvudsakliga teoretiska utgångspunkt vi valt att använda är synen på barn som såväl subjekt som aktör i ärenden som rör dess person. Då studien avser att mäta en företeelse som sker utifrån en socialsekreterares aktiva val i om barnet tillåts att närvara under en förhandsbedömning tolkas resultatet även utifrån ett maktperspektiv. Studiens resultat visar att barns möjlighet till att uttrycka sin åsikt är begränsad inom förhandsbedömningarna som inte lett till utredning. Då barnets närvaro endast dokumenterats i 20 procent av det undersökta materialet. I resterande förhandsbedömningar har socialtjänsten valt att inte låta barnet närvara och beslut har fattats utan att höra barnets åsikt.
