NEW SALISES PUBLICATION: Special Issue on Children

Please do check out the latest Special Issue of Social and Economic Studies (SES), edited by Aldrie Henry-Lee. Against the background of the 25th Anniversary of the Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC) which was celebrated in 2014, this timely collection of papers entitled: “Reflections on adherence to Child Rights in the Caribbean” offers discussion on various aspects of the situation of children in relation to:

  • awareness of child rights;
  • violence against children;
  • children’s play;
  • rights to participation; and
  • social rights to education and health services.
Reflections on Adherence to Child Rights in the Caribbean

The collection includes pieces presented at the Caribbean Child Research Conference which has been hosted by SALISES since 2006 under the Chairmanship of Dr. Henry-Lee. To secure your copy, please contact ses@uwimona.edu.jm
