Summary: The Norwegian Forum for the
Convention on the Rights of the Child
and Save the Children Norway have
produced this book which presents
children's views on what it is really
like to grow up in Norway. This will
be presented at the UN Special
Session on Children.The UN has recognised Norway as one of the world's best
countries to live in. However, despite this, it has also criticised
Norway's methods to facilitate and treat children in particular
situations. This document is the results of 100 children from the
cities of Oslo, Bergen and Kristiansand sharing their views and
experiences on what it is like to grow up in Norway. The
participating children and youth bring with them a range of
experiences including child welfare, being in asylum centres,
being separated children, being disabled or having been abused.
