DISCRIMINATION: Intersectional discrimination against children

Submitted by crinadmin on Thu, 23/07/2009 - 07:01

This paper adds a perspective to existing research on child protection by engaging in a debate on intersectional discrimination and its relationship to child protection. The paper has a two-fold objective, (1) to further establish intersectionality as a concept to address discrimination against children, and (2) to illustrate the importance of addressing intersectionality within rights-based programmes of child protection.
