How human rights can be used to protect children and promote equality.

Human rights are for everyone, but some groups do not get access to them equally. Why is this and what can be done? Alma-Constance and Lucinda talk to Sultana Tafadar KC and her 11 year old daughter Safiyah, who tell us about their work and why they set up the Girls Human Rights Hub and:·      why Sultana chose to work as a human rights lawyer.·      how human rights protect children in criminal cases.·      why girls need special protection and that boys can be involved too.·      why they launched Girls Human Rights Hub and what it provides.·      how law can be used to achieve equality through education, advocacy and litigation.  When Sultana was 10 years old, fairness, equality and justice were important to her and she always wanted to be a lawyer. Safiyah hopes to be a human rights lawyer when she grows up because it's important to stand up for people who don't have a voice against people who do, and to help make the world more just.References and ResourcesSultana Tafadar KCGirls Human Rights Hubhttps://www.globallegalpost.com/news/human-rights-kc-launches-non-profit-with-11-year-old-daughter-to-promote-gender-equality-1644426263Children’s Rights Alliance for EnglandKeep your questions coming in.

Om Podcasten

This is a podcast about children and the laws that affect them as they grow up. Alma-Constance, our host, decided to start the podcast in 2021when she was 10 years old. Living in England, UK, she discovered that when she turned 10 she would have reached the age of criminal responsibility. This is one of the youngest ages of criminalising children in the developed world. That was a pretty shocking discovery for her especially as she realised that she and her peers knew nothing about what this meant in practice and how it can affected children and their families. With the help of Lucinda Acland, a lawyer, and supported by Next 100 Years, they set out to ask some questions of leading experts to help children make sense of it all. There are a lot of laws that affect #children as they grow up and they are confusing and complicated and can affect all aspects of their day-to-day life from #education to online protections or at home, if families break up. It is difficult to keep track and understand the laws and how they impact a child's life. Alma-Constance is determined to help #TeachKidsLaw at a much younger age to help them grow up into adults confident with their legal knowledge. Understanding how the law works and being able to understand complex concepts of #justice and #ruleoflaw will help anyone as they try to navigate their lives.
