Today I found out the US is the only UN member country who has not ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

This is, in part, because the US is violating it And, in part, because it is difficult to ratify with our country’s constitution, as it requires 2/3 majority in the Senate. That means MORE THAN 1/3 of the Senate does not support Children’s Rights as agreed upon by the UN.

Again, the US is THE ONLY country. It’s been over 30 years since the US signed it, but no ratification.

It makes me wonder what other International Treaties we haven’t signed.

We’re the fae that big of a problem?

[allthecanadianpolitics]

The most ironic part of this whole "parental rights" campaign is that, in Canada, there is no such thing as "parental rights". Canada is a signator of the UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child, which explicitly lays out how parents do not, in fact, have a right to their children. Children have the right to things like safety and support, but parents DO NOT have a right to their children, only an "entitlement" to their children which will be taken away if they are shown to not deserve it. The only reason "parental rights" is even a thing is that only 99% of all UN countries signed the UNCRC and the 1 country that didn't was the US.

The few remaining crossings are only opened at the rare discretion of the Israeli authorities. ]

🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🏘️💥🚑 🚨

DAY 223: MORE BRIGADES JOIN RAFAH OP, PALESTINIAN CHILDREN TORTURED BY OCCUPATION FORCES, CROSSINGS REMAIN CLOSED WHILE MASS MURDER CONTINUES IN GAZA

On 223rd day of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed a total of 4 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of more than 39 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, while at least another 64 others were wounded over the previous 24-hours.

It should be noted that as a result of the constant Israeli bombardment of Gaza's healthcare system, infrastructure, residential and commercial buildings, local paramedic and civil defense crews are unable to recover countless hundreds, even thousands of victims who remain trapped under the rubble, or who's bodies remain strewn across the streets of Gaza.

This leaves the official death toll vastly undercounted, as Gaza's healthcare officials are unable to accurately tally those killed and maimed in this genocide, which must be kept in mind when considering the scale of the mass murder.

"For days now, crossings into Gaza have been closed, unsafe to access or not logistically viable."

This is according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Palestine division.

OCHA goes on to add that "aid distribution is almost impossible, with no regular fuel imports, unstable telecommunications and ongoing fighting."

"The impact is devastating for over 2 million people," OCHA added.

On the 7th of May, the Israeli occupation army stormed the Rafah and Karm Abu Salem border crossings, taking control over the Palestinian side of the crossings, immediately closing the two crossings and preventing the passage of humanitarian aid, including food, fuel and medical supplies.

As a result of the closing of the two crossings, the slow drip of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip has further slowed to a hobbled crawl, forcing more than two million Palestinians into extreme food insecurity, while Gaza's healthcare system faces a looming catastrophe as hospitals run out of fuel and medical supplies.

In the meantime, the Defense for Children International (DCI), an NGO established to protect the Rights of children as articulated by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), issued a statement which accused the Israeli occupation army of continuing to "mistreat and torture the Palestinian children they arrest in a systemic and widespread manner."

The children's rights organization has documented cases of abuse of Palestinian children detained by the occupation forces, including the story of the child Majd Radwan (14yo), who describes his treatment at the hands of Zionist soldiers.

According to the testimony given by Majd Radwan, he was with a group of friends in neighborhoods west of the town of Azzun, east of Qalqilya and south of Tulkarm, in the west of the occupied West Bank, when they were approached and chased by Israeli military vehicles.

Majd's friends managed to get away, while Majd himself stopped running after fearing he might be trampled by the Israeli military vehicles.

After stopping, Majd told DCI that around 10 Israeli soldiers got out of the two military vehicles, pointing their weapons at him before approaching him and beginning to kick and hit him.

"Then one of them came forward and kicked me in the face with his foot, and I fell to the ground. He continued to assault me with severe beatings for about 30 continuous minutes. He was hitting me with the butt of his gun, his hands, and his feet, and I was screaming. I cried from fear and pain, then he tied my hands with a single plastic tie to the back and blindfolded me, then he pushed me into one of the military jeeps and made me sit on its floor.”

Unfortunately, the abuse didn't stop there, following the initial assault, the child Majd was forced into one of the occupation military vehicles, where the abuse continued.

"Inside the jeep, two soldiers renewed their assault on me, severely beating me all over my body. One of them put the front of his military butt [of his gun] in my mouth, simultaneously stomping on my chest with his other foot. I was screaming and crying from intense pain and fear, and I felt like I was going to suffocate, and the assault on me continued."

"I was exhausted and could no longer cry or scream. I felt very thirsty, so I told the soldier about it, but he ignored my request and asked me to remain silent. After that, I was pulled and pushed into a military jeep, and there the assault on me was repeated. One of the soldiers said to me in Arabic, 'I want to break your hands and your feet' before he hit me hard on my hands and feet,” said the child Majd.

That was just the start of the abuse, occupation soldiers then took the boy to a police station in the settlement of "Emmanuel", where he was forced to stand for hours before being beaten yet again.

The child was further beaten, blindfolded, spit on, and sprayed with water while in Israeli detention, before being transferred to the Megiddo prison, beaten again, and then transferred to the Ofer Prison, where a lack of room led occupation forces to transfer the child back to another colony's prison.

For hours he was blindfolded, deprived of food and water, and deprived of access to bathrooms.

Eventually the child was brought to a village near the Ariel colony, where he was pushed unceremoniously from the vehicle and dumped in the street.

"I could not move or stand and remained on the ground until a Palestinian vehicle stopped next to me, and its driver took me to my town of Azzun after I told him what happened to me. There I was transferred to Azzun Governmental Hospital, where I received treatment and first aid, before I returned home."

This story is just one among thousands like it, where Palestinian children are abducted by the Israeli occupation forces, abused and mistreated, and often imprisoned for years at a time on trumped-up charges, such as throwing rocks towards army vehicles.

In other news today, 5 Israeli soldiers were killed, and 7 wounded, following a friendly fire incident near Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip.

According to reporting in the Israeli media, 5 occupation soldiers were killed and 7 wounded, three critically, following the firing of two artillery shells by an Israeli tank on a building occupied by the 202nd Battalion of the Israeli Paratroopers Brigade, an Ultra-Orthodox company.

The five soldiers killed were:

☠️ Cpt. Roy Beit Yaakov, 22, from Eli

☠️ Staff Sgt. Gilad Arye Boim, 22, from Karnei Shomron

☠️ Sgt. Daniel Chemu, 20, from Tiberias

☠️ Sgt. Ilan Cohen, 20, from Karmiel

☠️ Staff Sgt. Betzalel David Shashuah, 21, from Tel Aviv

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continued their violent shelling of various axis of the Gaza Strip on Wednesday night and into Thursday, killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians while targeting them in their homes, vehicles, and in the streets of Gaza.

The occupation continued to expand ground operations in Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city, where more than a million Palestinians have gathered to take shelter from the Israeli bombardment, but are now facing further displacement and violence as occupation forces move deeper into the city and expand their bombing and shelling of various neighborhoods.

Israeli tanks also advance deeper into the city, with the 89th Commando Brigade being introduced to the fighting, joining the 401st Brigade and the Givati Brigade in their assault on the southern Governate of Rafah.

In on example, occupation forces bombed a house belonging to the Al-Halaqawi family in central Rafah, near the Rabaa School, murdering four Palestinian civilians and wounding several others.

IOF Merkava tanks advanced towards the Eastern Cemetery area, in conjuction with an advance towards the Mall of Arabia, as well as the Al-Salam neighborhood, east of Rafah, while continuous artillery shelling led to the deaths of four more civilians.

Occupation warplanes further bombarded the tents of displaced Palestinian families in the village of Abasan, east of Rafah, also in the southern Gaza Strip.

Earlier on Wednesday night, a civilian was killed as a result of an Israeli bombing on Aed al-Bashiti Street in central Rafah.

In another strike, occupation fighter jets bombed a Palestinian home in the Al-Husaynat neighborhood, east of Rafah, while the Zionist army went on to bomb several residential homes belonging to civilians in the Al-Nasr and Brazil neighborhoods of Rafah City.

Yet another assault killed a civilian, and wounded several others, after Israeli aircraft bombed the Al-Awda roundabout in central Rafah, while the artillery shelling targeted the neighborhoods of Khirbet al-Adas and Al-Geneina.

The bombardment of the occupation's aircraft also targeted several neighborhoods in the village of Abasan, as well as targeting Khan Yunis.

A civilian was also shot with the live bullets of Israeli soldiers' gunfire in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip.

In another raid, IOF warplanes bombed an apartment complex in Tower 6 of the Ain Jalut Towers, east of the Nuseirat Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, wounding a number of Palestinians.

Further occupation artillery shelling hammered the axis extending from the village of Al-Mughraqa to the city of Al-Zahra'a, north of the Nuseirat Camp, and into the Wadi Gaza area.

In another attack, occupation soldiers opened fire on a gathering of civilians west of Al-Zahra'a, killing one resident and wounding several others.

Meanwhile, in Gaza's north, violent airstrikes and artillery shelling pummeled Gaza City, Jabalia and Beit Lahiya, resulting in a number of casualties.

Another atrocity was committed by the Zionist occupation army in a bombing of a residential home belonging to the Journalist Hail Al-Najjar, on Old Gaza Street in Jabalia, resulting in the death of the journalist along, with his entire family.

IOF warplanes similarly bombed a residential home belonging to the Asalia family, also on Old Gaza Street, in the city of Jabalia, in Gaza's north.

Yet another horrific crime was committed when occupation fighter jets bombed a gathering of civilians at the Al-Oyoun intersection on Al-Jalaa Street, southwest of Gaza City, after which, the pieces and parts of the bodies of 4 victims were brought to the Baptist Hospital, in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

Atrocious crimes were also recorded following the bombing of Al-Diri family home, in the Al-Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City, resulting in a number of casualties, while two members of the Al-Ghafri family were also killed after their home was bombed in central Gaza City.

Following the withdrawal of the occupation army from the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, scenes of extreme destruction of Palestinian homes were recorded, including the destruction of five displacement centers, and the widespread destruction of local infrastructure, including streets.

Local medical sources are also reporting the murder of more than 30 civilians just since this morning, resulting from the bombardment of Gaza City by the aircraft of the Israeli occupation forces.

Included were the deaths of at least 10 children as occupation warplanes targeted the homes of the Al-Ghafri, Jahjouh and Al-Dalu families in the areas of Abu Iskander, Al-Sidra and Al-Sahaba Streets.

Five civilians were also wounded after an Israeli drone targeted the Abu Bakr Al-Saddiq kindergarten in the Al-Faluga area of Jabalia, in Gaza's north.

As a result of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the current death toll has risen to exceed 35'272 Palestinians killed, including at least 15'103 children and over 10'000 women, while another 79'205 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.

Re: the “youth liberation” people.

I figured it out. They’ve invented a theory of guardianship that does not exist in their cultural or legal context to get mad about.

If “children as literal property” is what they have a problem with, I've got great news!

“Does not exist in their cultural or legal context”

Most of these people [online, in this specific discourse sphere?] are Americans. In most American states, parents can beat their children. In most American states, parents can medically neglect their children to death if it is for a religious reason.

In a lot of those states, parents can give off their children as brides. Send their children to conversion therapy. To places like the TTI (if you aren’t a youth liberationist after reading about the troubled teen industry you are just not a human being). Withhold information from them. Treat them in any way they see fit short of actual murder basically.

Yes, children are property in America. Not even the basic protectionist principles of the UNCRC are applied.

Shut the fuck up, you wouldn’t survive a day if you were turned back into a minor.

The things you take for granted, your right to privacy, your right not to be physically harmed, your right to a political voice, your right to your own opinions are something children in all of the Western world as well as in the global south DO NOT HAVE. “Guardianship” my ass. Most parents are prison wardens.

(Also, do I even need to point out that this is a racist dogwhistle of the same sort as “What do western feminists have to complain about? Patriarchy doesn’t even exist in the West” both downplaying the violence experienced by women in the minority world and implying that the “real” misogynists are those brown people, not us good whites.)

Exposing a Disturbing Influencer Brand Deal

Yeah, it’s a commentary youtube video, but makes surprisingly good points about influencers with kids in their audience taking money to promote the British Army, and calling out the hypocrisy of someone wearing a Free Palestine hoody and then doing this a few weeks later.

Also sneaks in some nice stuff about just how much aid the British Military is giving to the Israeli Army right now.

As it feels relevant, here’s also your reminder that the UK Military is the only European Military which recruits child soldiers (children can serve from 16, but start the recruitment process from 15 1/2). Even the UN has suggested that the UK should raise their recruitment age to 18. https://home.crin.org/readlistenwatch/stories/uncrc-uk-military-age

thinking angry thoughts about the adoption & surrogacy industries rn...

idk who needs to hear this but if 1 person is educated that is enough. It is a human rights violation (according to the UN!) to try and change someone's original birth certificate to reflect parents that are not their biological parents. it's also a human rights violation to use "surprise" DNA to conceive a child if you do not allow that person, as a child, to know who their biological parents are. Btw, it is also a human rights violation to deny a child the knowledge of who their biological parents are in general. But of course the US never ratified the UNCRC because of these multibillion dollar industries, backed by adoptive & surrogate parents who don't want what is best for their adopted, surrogate, or donor conceived children. Who btw then become adults and find sooo much happiness in estranging themselves from said parents.

It is so easy to just do the right thing for your family and educate yourself. Adoption Knowledge Affiliates has a bunch of amazing free peer support groups for all sides of the adoption experience:

And there are so many more organizations, look in your area for in person groups!

Published: May 22, 2024

Following the Worldwide Day of Genital Autonomy earlier this month, Dr Alejandro Sanchez notes that while child rights continue to progress, boys at risk of non-therapeutic circumcision are being left behind.

Tuesday, May 7, marked the 12th annual Worldwide Day of Genital Autonomy (WWDOGA). WWDOGA commemorates the anniversary of a landmark ruling of Cologne's Landgericht (Court of Appeal), which on May 7 2012 held that religious circumcision of boys amounted to criminal battery.

The ruling was, unfortunately, not to last. Unwilling to be the only jurisdiction in the world to outlaw non-therapeutic circumcision (NTMC), the Bundestag, Germany's parliament, passed a resolution to explicitly legalise the practice. This was despite "the constitutionally protected legal positions of the well-being of the child, the right to bodily integrity, [and] the right to religious freedom".

Nevertheless, the ruling makes Cologne in some sense the spiritual vanguard of the genital autonomy movement.

Each year in the city, WWDOGA brings together doctors, lawyers and child rights advocates from across the globe to process through the streets in opposition to all forms of non-therapeutic childhood genital cutting: female genital mutilation (FGM), circumcision and intersex cutting. The day culminates in speeches in the old town square.

This year, Rubine Singh, of Cologne's intersex support group baraka, shared a moving story of being born intersex in India and being spared unnecessary genital surgery.

"I stand here today as a happy and lucky intersex person", Rubine said, adding: "I want to live in a world where it is not a matter of luck whether you face the knife."

Lilith Raza, of Germany's Lesbian and Gay Federation+, powerfully recounted being subjected to NTMC at the age of five without anaesthesia and pinned down by four people

For me, WWODGA serves as an opportunity to take stock on our work to end non-consensual religious and cultural circumcision. As I mentioned in my speech, it's been a busy year for the NSS on this front: We've lobbied MPs, met with medical organisations, made the case against circumcision before the UN Human Rights Committee in Geneva, and recruited prominent voices in cutting communities to support our campaign.

It also represents a chance to think about opportunities that lie ahead.

The Royal College of Paediatrics and Children's Health takes a permissive stance on NTMC. It defers to General Medical Council guidance which not only greenlights circumcision, but permits parents to "invite their religious adviser to be present during the procedure to give advice on how it should be performed to meet the requirements of their faith." (The mind boggles.)

However, the College's recent call for a legislative ban on "smacking, hitting, and slapping" a child will put its stance on NTMC to the test. Readers will reach their own conclusions on the wisdom of such a ban, but it would seem absurd to support criminalising a smack on the bottom while defending the 'right' to cut off part of a child's penis.

Meanwhile, Scotland has become the first nation in the UK to incorporate the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) into domestic law. The UNCRC Act, due to come into force in July, will impose a duty on public bodies to act compatibly with the Convention.

Statutory guidance on the Act recognises "childhood is a special time which must have additional protections" and sets out a vision to make Scotland "the best place in the world to grow up". This vision is to be underpinned by the four 'General Principles' of the UNCRC: non-discrimination, the best interests of the child, the child's right to life and the child's right to be heard.

This is to be commended. There is, however, one snag: Scotland is also the only UK nation to provide ritual circumcision on its NHS. How will Bute House reconcile its lofty language on child rights with a state-sanctioned programme of infant genital cutting that nakedly violates all four General Principles?

For a solution, they need look no further than the 2016 recommendation of the Committee that oversees the CRC: "Ensure that no one is subjected to unnecessary medical or surgical treatment during infancy or childhood" and "guarantee bodily integrity, autonomy and self-determination to children concerned".

It is telling that in response the Scottish government laid out strategies to end FGM and intersex cutting, but remained silent on NTMC. The head in the sand approach is a tried-and-true one, and it's easy to feel that nothing will ever change.

As I said at WWDOGA, when it comes to circumcision: "the task is daunting and progress is slow, but we won't give up."

lmaooo dude a child is someone aged 1-12 and if that's the case w you, you really shouldn't be online, just replace child with 'baby' then if you're gonna be that dense

by your own logic a child is not a baby. to replace 'child' with 'baby' implies im under 12 LMFAOO. and anyone under 18 is legally recognized as a child in the united states of america.

"The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) defines a child as everyone under 18 unless, "under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier"."

What are the 12 Rights of a Child?

Children are the most precious gift of nature and the future of any nation. As such, it is our responsibility to ensure that children rights are not violated and that they are given the protection and care they deserve. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) was adopted in 1989 to protect the rights of children. This convention outlines 12 fundamental rights that children must enjoy regardless of their background, race, religion, or any other factors. 

The first right of a child is the right to life, survival, and development. This means that every child has the right to be born and to grow up in a safe and healthy environment. This right also includes access to food, clean water, adequate healthcare, and education. 

The second right of a child is the right to protection. This means that children need to be protected from all forms of abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence. Furthermore, children have the right to be protected from any form of discrimination, and their privacy should be respected. 

The third right of a child is the right to participation. This includes the right to express their opinion, be heard, and be taken seriously. Children should be involved in decisions that affect their lives and should be able to participate in activities that are suitable for their age.

The fourth right of a child is the right to a name and nationality. Every child has the right to have a legal identity and to acquire a nationality. This includes the right to have their birth registered and to have access to all forms of documentation. 

The fifth right of a child is the right to education. This means that all children have the right to free, compulsory, and quality education. Furthermore, children should not be discriminated against in the educational system and should be taught in an environment that is free of any form of exploitation. 

The sixth right of a child is the right to leisure, play, and culture. This right includes the right to engage in activities that are appropriate for their age and to participate in cultural life. 

The seventh right of a child is the right to the highest attainable standard of health. This includes the right to access health services, information, and preventive health care. 

The eighth right of a child is the right to an adequate standard of living. This includes the right to adequate food, clothing, housing, and other necessary resources. 

The ninth right of a child is the right to protection from economic exploitation. This includes the right to be protected from any form of exploitation, such as child labor. 

The tenth right of a child is the right to protection from any form of cruel or degrading treatment. This includes the right to be protected from all forms of violence, such as physical, mental, and sexual abuse. 

The eleventh right of a child is the right to free expression. This includes the right to express their opinions and to access information, art, and media. 

The twelfth right of a child is the right to access social security. This includes the right to access social services, such as health care, education, and social security benefits.  It is essential that we as adults uphold the 12 rights of children in India and ensure that these rights are respected and protected. We must take action to ensure that all children have access to these rights and live in a safe and healthy environment. Smile Foundation, one of the most trusted nonprofits in India is doing great work in the fields of child education, livelihood and women empowerment.

Essay on Why Education Is a Right for Children

A basic idea is expressed in the discussion of why education is a child's right: all children, regardless of their circumstances, have an inalienable right to a high-quality education. This is a global mandate that is codified in numerous international laws and treaties, most notably the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). It is more than just a moral stance. The essay's examination of the various ways that education affects people's lives and society at large is what makes education a child rights essay. The essay explores the critical role that early childhood education and education in general play as pillars for raising resilient, knowledgeable, and compassionate future generations through this lens.

Unpacking the Right to Education

Education empowers children, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complexities of life and to transform their communities.

Universal Access: Central to the essay's argument is the concept of universal access to education. It champions the idea that every child, regardless of socio-economic status, gender, or ethnicity, deserves the opportunity to learn and grow through education.

Empowerment through Knowledge: The essay emphasizes education's role in empowering children. An educated child is better equipped to make informed decisions, advocate for themselves and their rights, and participate fully in their communities.

The Crucial Role of Early Childhood Education

Foundational Learning: The essay underscores how early childhood education serves as the building block for lifelong learning, instilling curiosity and a love for discovery from a young age.

Equity and Inclusion: It further argues that early childhood education is a vital tool for achieving equity in education, offering all children, regardless of their starting point, the chance to succeed.

Addressing the Challenges

Despite the universal agreement on the importance of education as a child's right, why education is a child rights essay does not shy away from discussing the barriers that hinder access to education. It explores solutions such as increasing investment in education, implementing inclusive policies, and leveraging technology to overcome geographical and resource-based limitations.

Innovative Solutions: The essay advocates for innovative educational solutions, including the use of digital platforms and e-learning, to make education more accessible and engaging for children everywhere.

Conclusion

In summary, it is a powerful story that emphasizes education as the cornerstone of sustainable growth and societal advancement in addition to being a fundamental human right. It exhorts all parties involved to protect the right to education so that every child can reach their full potential and make a positive contribution to a more promising and just future. This essay's dedication to early childhood education and child education serves as a strong call to action for prioritizing education as the cornerstone of children's rights everywhere.
