This expanding body of international law and jurisprudence, however, lacks a core text that provides an up-to-date look at current children's rights issues, the evolution of children's rights law, and the efficacy of efforts to protect children.   Campaigning for Children focuses on contemporary children's rights, identifying the range of abuses that affect children today, including early marriage, female genital mutilation, child labor, child sex tourism, corporal punishment, the impact of armed conflict, and access to education. Jo Becker traces the last 25 years of the children's rights movement, including the evolution of international laws and standards to protect children from abuse and exploitation. From a practitioner's perspective, Becker provides readers with careful case studies of the organizations and campaigns that are making a difference in the lives of children, and the relevant strategies that have been successful—or not. By presenting a variety of approaches to deal with each issue, this book carefully teases out broader lessons for effective social change in the field of children's rights.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50625021542673,"sku":"GOR012564874","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50965148795153,"sku":"CIN1503603032G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50972360540433,"sku":"CIN1503603032VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51031563534609,"sku":"NIN9781503603035","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1503603032.jpg?v=1757415504"},{"product_id":"campaigning-for-justice-book-jo-becker-9780804774505","title":"Campaigning for Justice","description":"Explores the strategies behind some of the most innovative human rights campaigns and exciting human rights victories of recent years.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53014032122129,"sku":"NIN9780804774505","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780804774505.jpg?v=1768142918"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-jo-becker.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
