Although the concept of human rights is very much accepted as part of human existence throughout the world today, there is still much controversy surrounding the idea of rights for children. The Constitution, however, not only recognises the fact that like all other members of society, children are capable of being bearers of human rights but emphasises also the special position of children in society by granting them specific rights in the Constitution. Health rights are particularly important for children as the entitlements and obligations created by such rights are necessary for children to realise their full potential. In this thesis the entitlements and obligations attached to children'shealth service rights in the COnstitution are explored.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The aim of this study is to analyse the discourses drawn upon by community paediatric nurses in relation to children’s rights to health. The philosophy of Michel Foucault has been used to underpin the analysis of the interviews and exemplars of five experienced community nurses, revealing conflicting power relationships and discourses. Rights are formalised morality and so from a children’s rights perspective, discourses reflect both the moral and ethical positions of the nurses. Children are constructed as developing human beings whose moral status gradually changes and who, through a lack of developmental autonomy, entrust their decision-making to their representatives (parents and caregivers) as their trustees. Rights are correlative with the obligations and duties toward children by both families and society. Society constructs legislative and politically organised structures to govern raising children because children are an intrinsic social concern. Whilst representing society’s interest in children’s rights to health, nurses in the home act as a conduit for multiple governing structures. The nurses in this study construct their “truths” and knowledge about children’s health rights from nursing, medicine, law, education, and social policy. However, the values of individual parents can conflict with universal values for children’s health and wellbeing. Therefore representing society positions nurses as “agents of the state”, a role that potentially holds power over parents and children and leads to the epithet of “the health police”. Within the institution of the family, and in the privacy of the home, there are also mechanisms of power that can resist the mechanisms of the state and its representatives. Therefore the discourse “it takes a village to raise a child” competes with the “my home is my castle” discourse. Nurses negotiate a fine balance between these power relations. Nurses are challenged with using power productively to promote children’s rights whilst respecting the role of parents and families. I argue that children’s rights are central to the moral and ethical work of nurses but that such work is often obscured and invisible. I propose that children’s community nurses are excellent at negotiating networking and connecting at a micro level, but need to create a more sophisticated and cohesive entity at a macro level to become fully political children’s rights advocates.

This thesis paper defends a novel conception of the child's best interest in regard to elective pediatric surgeries (EPS). First, children's capacity for decision-making is examined, and the best decision-making model for EPS is identified as the Best Interest Standard. What follows is a discussion of the interests of children in EPS, the correlation of fundamental interests to rights, and guidelines for weighing children's competing interests. Next, the role of families is considered, especially the rights and duties of parents. Finally, a reinterpretation of the Best Interest Standard is proposed, identifying as paramount a child's ability to make elective medical decisions for herself when she reaches maturity.

Marrable, Letitia Faith. "On needing 'need' : an exploration of the construction of the child with 'additional needs'". Thesis, University of Sussex, 2011. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/7440/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
My research takes a social work perspective to investigate the concept of the child with ‘additional needs'. This concept arose out of the Labour Government's programme ‘Every Child Matters' (HM Government, 2003) which proposed that children's needs for support should be picked up at an earlier point by an integrated Children's Services consisting of social care, health and education. This would stop them from ‘falling through the net' of services. A focus on ‘additional needs' should mean that children in distress are helped at an early stage before problems became critical, improving the ‘well-being' of children and their families. The research has traced the cases of twelve children with ‘additional needs' through their contacts with Children's Services, using an interactionist methodology to interrogate the meaning-making between respondents. Further, following Hacking (2004), a Foucauldian approach to discourse allowed me investigate the discourses which shape formal diagnosis and categorization. Focusing on the ways that the child is positioned and perceived has allowed me to address the question of whose ‘need' is prioritized when the child enters the professional gaze. In doing so it has examined the role of formal and informal labels in constructing the child, the emotional content that goes into creating the ‘meaning-labels' of the child, and the ways that failures in knowing about the child affect the ways that a child becomes pictured. It concludes that in the shifting practices that make up Children's Services, the child with additional needs can become lost in the complex interaction between adult needs and emotions. The informal ‘meaning-labels' which arise out of this complexity often identify the child as carrying a ‘spoiled identity'. This can be carried through into practice with the child, including the processes of formal diagnosis and categorization. Adult emotions need to be managed better if children are to get fitting and timely help to allow them to thrive.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Doctor Legum - LLDThis study sets out to establish what is required of the South African government to comply with international human rights treaties and Constitutional obligations with respect to early childhood development (ECD) for children with disabilities. This requires clarification of the nature, scope and content of ECD and conceptual frameworks for child development and childhood disability are therefore presented. Early childhood is defined as the period from birth to four years of age. It is a period (by comparison to any other phase in the life course) of accelerated growth, during which brain development can be optimally promoted. It is at the same time a highly sensitive period when permanent damage caused by toxic stress can be averted. Early childhood is an opportunity for early intervention for children with disabilities, and is ideally suited for promoting social inclusion between children with disabilities and those without disabilities, particularly in early learning settings. By virtue of its potential to promote optimal development of young disadvantaged children in particular, ECD is not only a means of working towards equity, it has been recognised as a national investment. The content of ECD, drawing from the most recent publication of the South African Child Gauge (2013), is seen as comprising an ‘essential package’ of services, including nutrition, health, social services, caregiver support and early learning opportunities. The focus of this study is on the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) all of which have provisions relating to the general context of children with disabilities as well as to the components of the ‘essential package’. In addition to the sector-related rights contained in these treaties, they impose general obligations on the State with respect to legislative and other measures which it must undertake. These are discussed together with the State obligations under the South African Constitution which provide not only for non-discrimination, dignity and equality, but also for specific socio-economic rights for children which create justiciable obligations for the State. Having established the obligations of the State under international law and the Constitution, there is analysis of current legislation and policies and the extent to which they are compliant. A brief description is given of the history of disability and ECD-related services during the apartheid era, and how these have shaped current provision. Attention is given to provisions of the Children’s Act for ECD, partial care and prevention, and early intervention, where there is a lack of a clear mandate for funding services. Further, while limited Social Security is provided to children with disabilities in the form of Care Dependency Grants, these are likely to reinforce a welfarist perspective unless viewed as part of a broader initiative for equalisation of opportunities and development of children with disabilities. In respect of the right to health, progress made in reducing maternal and child mortality rates is applauded, but the primary focus on preventive and curative care has ‘crowded out’ a comprehensive view of primary health care as also encompassing rehabilitative care. Further, mechanisms to ensure early identification and intervention for children with disabilities, through developmental screening and referral, need to be strengthened. In respect of the right to education, there has been limited attention given to children under the age of five years, including within the Inclusive Education Policy (White Paper 6). The study therefore concludes that there are various areas in which there is a lack of alignment between the State obligations under international law, and current legislation and policies. However, drawing on the CRPD in particular, and the current heightened political attention being given to ECD, evidenced by its inclusion in the National Development Plan, this study further concludes that there exists at present a tremendous opportunity to ensure the inclusion of children with disabilities such that they are able to enjoy all the benefits of ECD and thereby reach their full potential.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Six out of every ten children in South Africa are living in poverty. This
situation is aggravated by the AlDS pandemic. The pandemic is also the
cause of a generation of AlDS orphans and as a consequence a lot of
pressure is put on society's resources. Although the fundamental rights of
children are entrenched in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa,
1996, the current legal and administrative framework is not being
implemented effectively in order to realise these rights.
The Constitutional Court has adjudicated upon several matters regarding the
realisation of socio-economic rights, thereby confirming that socio-economic
rights are indeed justiciable.
This research is specifically concerned with the realisation of children's right to
have access to health care as entrenched in sections 27 and 28(l)(c) of the
Constitution. Read with section 7(2) of the Constitution, this right places
negative as well as positive obligations on the state to respect, protect,
promote and fulfil children's right to have access to health care. Children's
right to health care are however dependent on the internal limitations
contained in section 27(2) of the Constitution which states that the state must
take reasonable legislative and other measures, within its available resources,
to achieve the progressive realisation of these rights. Having ratified the UN
Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the state is further bound to
recognize the right of the child to the enjoyment of the highest attainable
standard of health and to facilities for the treatment of illness and rehabilitation
of health. Parties to the CRC shall also strive to ensure that no child is
deprived of his or her right of access to such health care services.
Good health is dependent on more than a mere right to have access to health
care. In order to ensure the highest attainable standard of health for all
children, it is necessary that the available services are affordable and
accessible on an equitable basis. Access to health care should be seen as
part of a more comprehensive social protection package to ensure a minimum
standard of living, consistent with the value of human dignity in our
Constitution.
In order to achieve this, the fragmented health care system which existed
before 1994 and which was mainly a result of the previous dispensation of
oppression and racial discrimination, had to be transformed in order to reach
the ideal of improving the quality of life of all citizens as contained in the
preamble of the Constitution.
Ten years after the inception of the new constitutional dispensation, it can be
said that the government is making progress with the transformation of the
health system and making it accessible to all people, including children. After
extensive research on the legislative and other measures that the government
has implemented in order to realise children's right to access to health care,
the following conclusions has been reached:
State policies regarding health care are taking account of the needs of
children as a vulnerable group of society and it can be said to be
reasonable in the formulation thereof. Regarding the implementation of
these policies, much remains to be done to ensure that the benefits thereof
reach the children, especially more vulnerable groups such as street
children and child-headed households - a common occurrence with the
high prevalence of HIVIAIDS in South Africa.
The enactment of the National Health Act 61 of 2003 is still awaited
although it has already been signed. This legislation provides a national
framework of norms and standards regarding the health care system and it
is mainly based on the rights of patients.
A new Children's Bill [B32 - 20031 has been introduced to parliament. The
bill deals extensively with the rights of children as contained in the
Constitution and also aims to give effect to governments' obligations in
terms of the CRC. The enactment of the bill should be given priority,
although measures should be implemented to ensure that health care
services are also accessible to children who are not assisted by adults
such as child-headed households.
The allocation of public funds should be considered in order to provide
better social assistance to families in dire need but mechanisms to ensure
that children benefit from social grants must be implemented. Many of
these grants are being abused by parents which means that although the
grants are available, the money is not always spent to better the plight of
the children. This is especially important in the light of the fact that the
primary obligation to take care of children vests in the parents.
The courts and especially the Constitutional Court, has taken their role in
realising socio-economic rights seriously and very important guidelines has
been formulated regarding the reasonableness of legislative and other
measures in this regard. After the Khosa-case it should be said that
although the courts are allowed to overstep the boundaries of separation of
powers, they should not rewrite these boundaries by not taking appropriate
account of the availability of financial resources. This also applies to the
executive and legislature which should act more effectively to implement
the court's decisions.
The Human Rights Commission is playing an important role with regard to
the realisation of socio-economic rights by monitoring and evaluating the
implementation of government programmes and legislation. The
Commission also provides valuable guidelines with regard to the
realisation of socio-economic rights in the form of annual reports submitted
to parliament. It is submitted that the Commission should however
consider to define minimum core obligations of socio-economic rights since
the Commission is better equipped to do this than the courts are.Thesis (LL.M. (Public Law))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
L’évolution scientifique du VIH/sida ne peut se conter sans son aspect juridique ; en effet, la pandémie a soulevé de nombreuses interrogations sur le plan juridique, qui se sont traduites par l’adoption de multiples législations. De la sorte, la sérophobie, née de l’impuissance de la médecine et de la science face à cette maladie qui semblait inexorable et de la peur du fait de l’incertitude sur ses origines et sa prophylaxie, a eu pour corollaire des réactions liberticides accompagnée d’un anathème jeté sur certaines populations. Toutefois, ce fléau médical, devenu également social, a eu comme résultat de lutter contre diverses injustices. En effet, alors que depuis le XIXe siècle, la réponse apportée aux épidémies était très autoritaire, le VIH/sida a introduit une nouvelle conception du contrôle de ces dernières, éloignée de la conception classique. Une perspective inédite consistant en une réflexion plus globale s’est alors mise en place. À partir de cela, le respect des droits individuels ne fut plus considéré comme pouvant être contraire à l’intérêt général, mais comme étant un élément nécessaire au bien-être commun. Dès lors, après avoir constitué une boîte de pandore aux atteintes aux droits fondamentaux, la riposte au VIH/sida est devenue, de façon croissante, un moyen de lutter contre les obstacles juridiques, traditionnels ou religieux d’un État à la mise en place d’une protection juridique égale à tous. Mais nonobstant ces progrès, des pans de la population mondiale restent très vulnérables face à l’infection. L’histoire du VIH autant scientifique que juridique n’est donc pas terminéeThe scientific development of HIV/AIDS cannot be told without its legal aspect. Indeed, the pandemic has raised many questions in terms of law, which led to the adoption of numerous legislations. Thus, the "serophobia", result of the powerlessness of medicine and science regarding this disease that seemed inexorable and of the fear due to the uncertainty about its origins and prophylaxis, has been followed by drastic reactions and an anathema thrown on certain populations. However, this medical scourge, that also became a social one, has permitted to fight against some injustices. Indeed, while since the nineteenth century, the response to an epidemic was very authoritarian, HIV/AIDS has changed the game and introduced a new concept of control of the latter, different from the classic design. A new perspective consisting of a more global thinking, was then introduced. From this, the respect for individual rights was no longer regarded as being contrary to public interest, but as a necessary element of public health. Therefore, after having been a Pandora's box for human rights violations, the response to HIV/AIDS has become, increasingly, a way to fight against the legal, traditional or religious national obstacles to the implementation of a legal protection equal to all. But despite this progress, some populations remain highly vulnerable to the infection. Thus, the scientific and legal story of HIV is far from over

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Sibling caretaking, although common across time and cultures, has not been well researched from the carer’s point of view. In Nicaragua, ranked as one of the poorest countries in the Americas, sibling caretaking is common. The country’s historical background and its state of chronic poverty, widespread unemployment, loose family structures, and migration and mobility makes of the old practise of shared management child care a necessity. Households headed by sing¬le mothers constitute a particular Nica¬raguan charact¬eristic. Many children are expected to help in their own families and care for their siblings and other children living in their households. In its broadest sense sibling caretaking is a public health concern, and we conducted this study to widen the understanding of the phenomenon as it is represented in a setting undergoing a rapid social transition. The main objectives were to identify, describe and analyse the life situation of sibling caretakers in poor areas in León, Nicaragua, with focus on how they perceived it themselves. A combined qualitative and quantitative methodological design was used, mainly applying an ethnographic approach. A further ambition was to explore involvement of children in a participatory research process in accordance with the ‘Convention on the Rights of the Child’. The overall emotion expressed among the caretakers was pride, even if their situation often was characterized by stress and coping problems. They perceived their work as important for their families and they appreciated to fend for their siblings. Household work and nurturing of siblings were shaping the future lives of the caretakers and constituted part of their socialization. Even if many of these children achieve essential life skills as caretakers, they are at risk of falling behind as they grow older. Their long-term personal development is likely to be hampered by the obligations they have as caretakers. The carers' awareness of missing out on education was the most problematic issue for them. From a societal point of view, caretaking has negative consequences. The individual child is marginalised with limited access to basic education, contributing to overall low educational levels in Nicaragua. While the structuring conditions leading to sibling caretaking may be difficult to change, awareness of how these can affect children might make way for improvements in terms of access to school education and support from the society. The knowledge gained from this study should be further utilised to plan for interventions that take children’s perspectives into consideration.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorO estudo objetivou compreender como se processa o respeito aos direitos da criança hospitalizada e sua família, pelo hospital e pelos profissionais de saúde. Procurou-se analisar as relações existentes entre os profissionais de saúde, a criança e sua família, no interior do hospital; como os profissionais percebem os direitos dessas crianças e de sua família, e como a própria família compreende os direitos dos seus filhos. Para isso, utilizou-se pesquisa qualitativa com enfoque etnográfico, tendo como técnicas a observação participante e entrevistas semiestruturadas Foram realizadas sete entrevistas com acompanhantes e onze com os profissionais de saúde, de um hospital pediátrico da cidade de Fortaleza CE, no ano de 2005 e 2006. A análise dos dados aconteceu após um processo de múltiplas leituras e estes foram interpretados com o referencial relativo aos temas elaborados. Surgiram quatro temáticas a partir da análise do material: a descoberta da doença na criança; a trajetória da criança hospitalizada; o conhecimento dos profissionais de saúde sobre os direitos da criança hospitalizada e as condições materiais de trabalho do profissional como um obstáculo na consecução desses direitos. Nas diversas conclusões, destacam-se: os múltiplos projetos de humanização existentes no hospital; a preocupação em manter um espaço destinado para a criança brincar; a criação de um espaço de higiene e alimentação para o acompanhante; o ambulatório da Cirurgia sem Medo, preparando a criança e família para a cirurgia, bem como a criação da fila única; a ampliação do horário de visita; a comunicação, muitas vezes deficiente, entre profissionais e acompanhantes; a pouca ou nenhuma orientação sobre normas e rotinas do hospital e sobre os direitos da criança e família no meio hospitalar; o limitado conhecimento sobre os direitos da criança hospitalizada, por alguns profissionais, desconhecendo os documentos importantes na área; e, finalmente, a falta de materiais de trabalho essenciais para a recuperação e bem-estar da criança hospitalizada como empecilhos a um cuidado pleno e de boa qualidade.
This study had as object to understand how the respect to the rights of children and their families are dealt with by the hospital and Health Professionals . It was tried to analyze the relationship between Health Professionals, the child and its family in the hospital; how those Professionals perceive the rights of those children and their families; and how the families themselves understand the rights of their children. To attain such object, qualitative research with ethnographic approach was utilized, having as techniques a participant observation and se i-structured interviews. Seven interviews with attendants and eleven interviews with Health Professionals, from a Pediatric Hospital of the city of Fortaleza State of Ceará, have been carried out, from 2005 to 2006. The analysis of the data has taken place after multiple readings and such data have been interpreted with reference to the elaborated themes. Four sets of themes have been discovered through the data analysis: 1) the identification of the disease in the child; 2) The trajectory of the in-patient child; 3) The awareness of Health Professionals on in-patient childrens rights ; and 4) the material work conditions of the Professional, as an obstacle to such rights. Among the several conclusions stand out a) the multiple humanization projects existing in the Hospital; b) the care in keeping a space for the child to play; c) the designing of a space for hygiene and meals for the family; d) the Non-Fear Surgery Clinic, intended to prepare both the child and its family for the surgery, as well as the adoption of an only waiting queue; e) Enlargement of the visit time; f) a better communication (many times deficient among professionals and family); and g) the scarce or non-existent orientation over hospital routine and norms and over the rights of Children and their families in the hospital environment; h) the limited awareness on the in-patient children rights by some Professionals, who ignore important documents of this area and, finally, the lack of work materials essential for the recovery and welfare of in-patient children, as an obstacle towards a good quality full care

It can be argued that the definition of a child as a human being below the age of 18 years is a
western construct due to the fact that in Africa the duration of childhood is much shorter than
that of the West. Thus, in some African societies childhood ends at the age of 14 or 16
depending on the cultural implications in that society. It must be pointed out here that there
is no universal definition of childhood due to the fact that the definition of a child is culture
specific. Having laid down the differences in the definition of childhood between Africa and
the West, it is necessary to discuss the concept of children’s rights.Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2010.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Mental health is a major child public health issue in Sweden. The overall aims of this thesis are to explore girls’ and boys’ perspectives on mental health and on mental health-promoting initiatives, and to deepen the knowledge of disclosure and support for ado-lescents at risk of abuse and neglect. Four studies are included in the thesis, and a qualitative descriptive design was chosen. In three of the studies (Studies I, II, and III), adolescents in Sweden were interviewed individually or in focus-groups. In the fourth study (IV) officials and politicians in nine municipalities in Sweden were interviewed, and documents were analysed in a multiple-case-study design. In study I the adolescents were asked about the mental health-promoting dialogue with the school nurse. The results reveal that what the adolescents found important were trustiness, attentiveness, respectfulness, authenticity, accessibility, and continuity. The adolescents also had certain views on what issues to talk about in the health dialogue; physical and psychological issues should be included. In Study II, the adolescents perceived “mental health” to be an emotional experience with positive and negative aspects of internal and relational feelings. Family, friends, and school were regarded as important determinants of mental health by the adolescents. Neither girls nor boys thought that there were any major differences in mental health between girls and boys, but did think they were subject to different expectations. In Study III the results show that adolescents with families with alcohol problems are unsure whether to disclose their home situation to an adult; the adolescents seem to make a risk assessment when looking for trustworthy adults. It is a disclosure process. Friends are confidants and supportive, and sometimes facilitators for contacting adults, when support from adults is needed. Study IV show that even small grants to municipalities for children-at-risk projects lead to more activities for these children and adolescents. But children or adolescents were not involved in the planning or decision-making of the activities. The studies in this thesis show that most important thing for adolescents’ mental health is the relation between adolescents and adults, foremost parents, and between adolescents and friends. In addition, gender and age, adolescents’ perspec¬tives and par-ticipation, and society’s support, including the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, have an impact on adolescents’ mental health, both for ado-lescents in general and for adolescents at risk of abuse and neglect. The results are viewed in relation to the bioecological model, to illustrate how all levels in society influence mental health among adolescents, on an individual and a population plane. The findings have implications for adults: to learn more about adolescents and puberty, and about the home situation for children and adolescents at risk of abuse and neglect; to listen to suggestions from children and adolescents; to include friends in support to adolescents at risk of abuse and neglect; and to include girls and boys in all matters concerning them.

This work was written within the framework of the theme of democracy and children's rights. The purpose of the study was to contribute with knowledge of preschool teachers' thoughts on and pedagogical work with meal situations in relation to diet and health. As many of Sweden's children go to preschool, the preschool becomes an important arena for children at many different levels, among other things when it comes to pedagogues pedagogical work with meal situations. The method used to answer the purpose was qualitative interviews. The result shows that preschool teachers see the meal situations as a learning opportunity and as an opportunity where the children get opportunities to learn more about diet and health. The result also shows that the preschool teachers' work on meal situations, in relation to diet and health, is very much about motivating the children to dare to taste new and "foreign" food. This work, in turn, may be aimed at promoting good eating habits in the children. The result also shows that there are some opportunities and challenges in the pedagogical work with the meal situations in relation to diet and health. The possibilities were about creating the conditions for an even better work with learning about diet and health. The challenges were about meal situations as a stressful moment, about unclear roles and about a lack of cooperation between preschool educators and chefs.Detta arbete skrevs inom ramen för temat demokrati och barns rättigheter. Syftet med studien var att bidra med kunskap om förskollärares tankar om och pedagogiska arbete med måltidssituationerna i relation till kost och hälsa. Då många av Sveriges barn går i förskolan så blir förskolan en viktig arena för barn på många olika nivåer, bland annat när det gäller pedagogers pedagogiska arbete med måltidssituationerna. Metoden som användes för att besvara syftet var kvalitativa intervjuer. Resultatet visar på att förskollärarna ser på måltidssituationerna som ett lärtillfälle och som ett tillfälle där barnen bland annat får möjligheter att lära sig mer om kost och hälsa. Resultatet visar även på att förskollärarnas arbete med måltidssituationerna, i relation till kost och hälsa, mycket handlar om att motivera barnen till att våga smaka på ny och ”främmande” mat. Detta arbete kan i sin tur syfta till ett främjande av goda matvanor hos barnen. Resultatet visar även att det finns en del möjligheter och utmaningar i det pedagogiska arbetet med måltidssituationerna i relation till kost och hälsa. Möjligheterna handlade om att skapa förutsättningar för att ett ännu bättre arbete med lärandet om kost och hälsa kunde ske. Utmaningarna handlade om måltidssituationerna som en stressig stund, om otydliga roller samt om brist på samarbete mellan förskolepedagoger och kockar.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis is set in the Western Australian education system and centres on the question of how primary schools can actively foster conditions conducive to creating and sustaining education in and for democracy and human rights. In Australia, as elsewhere, there is a widespread acceptance of the need for democratic education also referred to as civics and citizenship education. The perceived lack of public understanding of democratic principles and practices has, in the last decade, led various Australian governments to commit significant resources ($ 31.6 million) to civics and citizenship education programmes such as Discovering Democracy (DD).
This thesis argues that political engagement and civic learning is most effective when schools commit themselves to deliberately embedding a set of democratic educational principles in everyday practices. In contrast to traditional approaches to citizenship education that tend to focus on the operational aspects of representative governments, institutions and history, this thesis argues that education for Democracy and Human Rights (DaHR) can be effectively achieved through the fostering of DaHR in education. In this task the thesis draws on the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The CRC is rooted in a range of basic values about the treatment of children in schools and elsewhere, and encompasses basic rights to which children are entitled.
The study empirically investigates through up close observations, interviews and surveys the efficacy of pedagogy for civic and citizenship learning in four schools identified as places of strong democratic practice. This study was able to identify particular commonalities between the four case study schools that were conducive to creating and sustaining democratic principles and practices. These schools, although very different in their composition, were lead by principals who shared the view that children under their care were subjects in the making with increasing rights and responsibilities rather than objects to be manipulated, controlled and protected. The findings suggest that experiencing democracy and human rights in daily school life in a variety of situations and on a number of different levels can effectively contribute to the learning of the meaning and advantages of democratic values such as the rule of law, participatory decision-making and due process. It also concludes that there may be a relationship between parental socio-economic background and the possibilities available for students to engage in effective civic learning and citizenship practices. The relationship between socio-economic background and other structural factors including gender and ethnicity in relation to possibilities of civic learning needs to be investigated in a larger study.

This thesis investigated the views, opinions and experiences of children, young people and parents of mental health services and Triple P parent training using qualitative methods. It is divided into four separate papers, the first three written as standalone journal papers. Paper 1 is a systematic review and synthesis of qualitative studies exploring children’s views and opinions of mental health services. The review used specific databases, a search of qualitative journals and a general Internet search to identify relevant studies. The paper utilized inclusion/exclusion criteria and a quality appraisal assessment. Fifteen studies meeting inclusion and quality criteria were identified exploring the experiences of 378 children and young people aged between 5 and 16 years, from a range of countries. The review then involved synthesising the findings of these studies to generate several overarching themes. Themes that emerged were; the stigma of mental health difficulties; alliance making and breaking properties; the physical location of services; consent and confidentiality; preferences for creative therapies and a recognition of therapeutic stages. Paper 2 is an original research study that explored the experiences of parents of Triple P parent training. Eight parents were interviewed using a semi-structured protocol. Data were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Emergent themes were; a search for a cause; the stigma of parenting difficulties; the destruction and recreation of family life and a shift in perspective. Paper 3 explores the views and opinions of children whose parents have recently undertaken Triple P parent training. This qualitative study used ‘In My Shoes’, a computer assisted interview tool, to explore the experiences of eleven children from England aged between five and sixteen years. Children’s data were analysed using Thematic Analysis. Children’s themes were; a search for a cause; changes in life brought about by Triple P and wider difficult life circumstances. Parents and children’s narratives broadly agreed though children talked about being smacked before Triple P and parents did not comment about chastisement. The final section of the thesis was a critical appraisal of the literature review, research study and research process as a whole, including methodological reflections, implications for future research and clinical practice, and the researcher’s personal reflections in undertaking the research.

Street children are the most vulnerable group in any society. It is estimated that 150 millions children lives on the street in the world. Most of these children lack all basic needs. This study is been done in Babati district, Tanzania. Focus of this study is to examine the possibilities to Education and Healthcare of street children in Babati. This is a qualitative study based on semi structured interviews with street children, authorities responsible for Education and Healthcare of these children and other actors involve in this subject. The result of this study is that the government of Tanzania has developed a guideline (focus on HIV/AIDS related problems causing orphans) to assist these children with shelter, food, education, healthcare etc. There are 656 identified street children in Babati is receiving assistance from the authority but the interviewed street children are receiving any assistance are none. NGOs in Babati working with street children follow the same guideline assisting street children. Children not falling under this guideline do not have many chances to receive any assistance from the authorities and other actors in Babati. The authorities and actors need to expand their focus on reaching all street children in Babati.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Det övergripande syftet med denna uppsats är att utifrån ett rättsociologiskt perspektiv undersöka huruvida begreppet barnets bästa förverkligas i domstolars beslut samt familjerätters yttrande gällande vårdnadstvister. Uppsatsen söker vidare förklara lagrummets gränser avseende vårdnadstvister då domstolar och familjerätter samarbetar under speciella omständigheter. Åtta stickprovsutvalda rättsfall, med bifogat yttrande från socialnämnd, utgör grunden för studien. Den empiriska delen bygger inledningsvis på en delanalys i form av meningskoncentrering, för att övergå till att inringa särdrag i analyserad text med utgångspunkt i om och huruvida barnet har fått komma till tals. Barnets bästa tycks beaktas så långt det är möjligt i vårdnadstvister men begreppets innebörd har en tendens att tolkas av vuxna, vilket kan leda till att det definieras ur ett vuxenperspektiv istället för ett barnperspektiv. De professionella aktörerna har makt medan barnet har inskränkt handlingsförmåga i rätten, det råder en hierarki i vårdnadstvister. Barnets röst kan vara svår att urskilja då föräldrarnas konflikt har en tendens att dra allt fokus till sig.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Child maltreatment negatively impacts physical, emotional, and the health and well-being of a person, often with lifelong implications. The importance of this study derives from the very necessity of mental health services for children who have suffered trauma. Children’s Assessment Centers (CAC) assess and refer children who have experienced abuse to a therapist in the community. This study examines the use of an enhanced referral process used to connect some CAC clients more quickly to therapeutic services in the community. The study examined whether children who received this expedited referral service were more likely than children who received the standard referral process to see a therapist within three months. The study used data provided by one CAC in California. The CAC provided information on clients who received either the expedited or standard referral process within a 3-month period in 2017. The researcher then contacted the clients’ caregivers to ask whether the child saw a therapist within 3-months of the child’s referral from the CAC. The study used a Chi-square test to analyze whether children who received an expedited referral to mental health services were more likely than children who received the standard referral to receive mental health services within three months. Results indicated no statistically significant difference in access to mental health services for the two groups. However, during data collection, the researcher learned that some children were already engaged in therapy at the time they received the referral, perhaps rendering the referral unnecessary. Implications for social work practice, policy, and research are discussed.

Hawkins, Kirstan. "Rights, health and power : a critical social analysis of the reproductive health and rights discourse". Thesis, Swansea University, 2002. https://cronfa.swan.ac.uk/Record/cronfa42673.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis is a critique of the global reproductive health and rights and discourse, which emanated from the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development. The thesis argues that far from being a new population policy paradigm, the reproductive rights and health discourse is a reworking of a neo-Malthusian and neo-liberal policy agenda. The thesis begins with a consideration of the historical and political context in which international population policy has evolved, and questions the extent to which liberal notions of individual rights freedom and choice, enshrined in the reproductive health discourse, bears a relationship to the social, political and economic realities in which poor and socially marginalized people experience their sexual and reproductive health. Through a critical review of the literature the thesis questions the positivist/functionalist paradigms upon which mainstream demographic and reproductive health research is based. In rejecting both the positivism of mainstream demography as well as the relativism of much post-modernism, the thesis draws eclectically upon post-structuralist and practice theory to suggest a framework for "critical social analysis", which understands sexual and reproductive behaviour as both historically grounded and culturally contingent. Central to the framework is an exploration of how constructions of identity and difference shape social and political practice at the national and local level. Drawing upon case study material from Bolivia, the thesis explores how constructions of identity and difference are embedded in historical and structural conditions of inequality and exploitation. Through an ethnographic study the thesis considers how these structural conditions of inequality become embodied in and reproduced through everyday practices, which ultimately shape the experience of health and well being among poor migrant women. The thesis goes on to suggest a methodological approach entitled the "peer ethnographic method" for incorporating such an understanding of identity and difference into programme design and monitoring.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
My aim is to demonstrate that professionals perceive they have a right to refuse to provide their services and are currently acting accordingly. This thesis explores whether a professional right to refuse services exists; if so, the limits of this right; and whether a professional 'right' to refuse services ought to exist and in what circumstances. This requires analysis of whether refusals to provide professional services might be considered unethical conduct according to existing codes of ethics and moral theories, unprofessional conduct within the norms of professional regulatory and disciplinary bodies, or illegal conduct according to Canadian law, in particular, human rights law. The issues are examined primarily with reference to physicians who treat patients and some comparisons are made with physician clinical researchers and lawyers. The shift from a duty-based system of professional service to a rights-based system of professional privileges has led to conflicting goals of professional self-regulation, and some possible resolutions to this conflict are explored.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The demand for nutrition professionals to develop creative programs to improve childrens eating behavior is being driven by growing numbers of overweight children and lack of food and nutrition knowledge. This study evaluated the effect on childrens eating behaviors from participation in a week-long Fun with Food camp. A survey was administered on the first day of camp and a post-survey was mailed to participants. Thirty-three participants (56%) returned a completed survey. Significant (p <.05) change was observed for seven questions which related to consumption of whole grains and vegetable and increased self-efficacy. It appears that participation in the week long Fun with Food camp was effective in changing behaviors and increasing confidence of the participants. The findings support teaching children about food from the farm to the table using hands on food experiences and exposure to new foods as an effective intervention for improving eating behaviors.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The thesis defends a critical theological engagement with rights and autonomy as the basis for protecting children. It was prompted by child protection cases encountered as a lawyer involving families from minority religious communities. The cases raised questions about cross-cultural norms for child protection. The need for such norms, emphasised in the Laming report into Victoria Climbie's death through exorcism, is further highlighted by phenomena like forced marriage and 'honour' killing. Government documents and judicial decisions assume that such norms are found in children's rights and welfare. Yet welfare is indeterminate and in some circles rights are seen as incompatible with religion, unrealistic in their universal aspirations and criticised for liberal assumptions about autonomy and reason. The problems are examined through contextual illustrations from contemporary debates about forced marriage, religious dress, 'honour' killings and sexuality, corporal punishment, faith-based education and adoption. The introductory chapter sets out the problematic, methodology, legal and religious sources and paradigms and the limits of the research. The second chapter considers earlier explorations of cross-cultural bases for child protection norms and identifies their limitations; in particular assumptions of agreement over what constitutes harm are challenged. Chapter three examines specific illustrations of secular or liberal concern which highlight differing understandings about what is harmful for children. In chapter four the worldviews, epistemology and theology underlying such differences are examined in greater depth, identifying divergent views about autonomy as a key factor in the differences. Chapter five considers the concept of autonomy from the perspective of Christian theology, particularly that of Karl Barth and Christian arguments concerning rights. This process enables the construction of a theological defence of autonomy and rights in which autonomy is understood not as libertarian freedom but as the graced uniqueness of cognitive, affective and bodily integrity and identity inherent in all human beings from birth. Such autonomy is the gift of personhood in 'what is least fathomable and controllable in the human subject' that human rights are designed to protect. Graced autonomy can only be lived in relationship with family, community and God but recognises that without respect for each person's integrity and worth right relationship is impossible. Rights are defended as necessary in addressing distortions of power even exploitation which subordinates the interests of some to more powerful others, both individuals and communities. Rights based on graced autonomy also provide more substance to what constitutes worth in terms of the material, social and participative. The sixth chapter assesses the compatibility of the paradigm of graced autonomy with Islam and Judaism whilst the seventh and final chapter considers the implications of the paradigm for various areas of public and legal debate concerning children and adults. In addition further areas of research and exploration of the paradigm are considered for example implications for theological literacy in frontline social work, further testing in other faith traditions and application to adults' rights.

Objects of dissertation: the quality in health care inpatient institutions and health damage compensation in medical malpractice litigation cases. This work is a scientific assessment of the implementation of the patients‘ rights to quality in health care and health damage compensation in Lithuania, where the functioning of two patients' rights is assessed in a systematic and integrated manner, both in the medical and the legal aspect. Research: the modified Picker Institute‘s questionnaire was used for the scientific research of 1917 patients treated in hospitals in order to examine and assess their opinions on the quality of health care provided to them and evaluate the opportunities to realize their right to health care of good quality. The study analyzed 32 medical malpractice lawsuit cases of general jurisdiction courts in terms of the principles of health damage compensation, procedural characteristics and efficiency. Conclusions: statutory regulation of patients 'rights to quality in health care services and health damage compensation in Lithuania meets international and European patients' rights protection principles. The research showed that the vast majority of surveyed patients (nine out of ten) realized their right to quality in health care service in the hospital. However, six out of ten plaintiffs received the health damage compensation, plaintiffs were awarded only nearly a fifth of the requested overall pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages.Disertacijos objektai: sveikatos priežiūros paslaugų kokybė stacionarinėse asmens sveikatos priežiūros įstaigose ir žalos sveikatai atlyginimas gydytojų civilinės atsakomybės bylose.

Este trabalho tem por escopo analisar o procedimento de experimentação de novos tratamentos médicos e farmacêuticos em seres humanos, mais especificamente, crianças e adolescentes. A partir da ideia da condição do menor de pessoa em formação e da proteção especial garantida pela ordem jurídica, busca-se, constatando a necessidade de realização de pesquisas clínicas com este grupo, analisar de que modo a doutrina dos denominados direitos humanos e fundamentais e a regulamentação bioética devem atuar no sentido de estabelecer normativamente os requisitos que garantam o desenvolvimento científico sem o sacrifício das prerrogativas humanas mais comezinhas, como a integridade física e psíquica, bem como a autonomia. Por fim, tendo em vista os conceitos de risco e precaução, são estabelecidos os pressupostos para o nascimento da responsabilidade civil, de pesquisadores, patrocinadores e responsáveis legais pelo menor, inclusive pais, com a abordagem, também, dos reflexos no poder familiar, quando eventuais danos venham a ser produzidos contra as crianças e adolescentes sujeitos de pesquisa.This work has as scope the analysis of the procedure regarding new medical and pharmaceutical treatments testing in humans, more specifically children and teenagers. From the idea of the minors status as person under development and the special protection guaranteed by law, it is intended with this work, considering the need of clinical researches involving this group, an examination of how the so-called human and fundamental rights as well as bioethics regulation must act to standardize the requirements that ensure the scientific development without sacrificing the most basic human prerogatives, such as physic and psychological integrity and independence. Finally, in view of risk and precautions concepts, the assumptions are set to the arise of researchers, sponsors and guardians liability, including parents, also regarding the repercussion of such liability on parental authority, in the event of damages occurrence in children and teenagers in the context of clinical trials.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Recent studies on ancient Israel's mortuary culture have shown that mourning rites were not restricted to the occasions of death, burial and subsequent grief but were, in fact, implemented in diverse contexts. In this thesis I am looking at biblical traditions in which these solemn practices contributed, or sought to contribute to various forms of social restoration. More specifically, I explore the stories of biblical grieving mothers who are placed at key junctures in Israel's history to renegotiate the destinies not only of their own children, dead or lost, but also those of larger communities, i.e. family lines, ethnic groups, or entire nations. Since 'the social and ritual dimensions of mourning are intertwined and inseparable ... [and] rites in general are a context for the creation and transformation of social order', these women use the circumstance of their 'interrupted' motherhood as a platform for a kind of grief-driven socio-political activism. Since maternal bereavement is generally understood as the most intense of all types of loss and was seen as archetypal of all mourning in ancient Near Eastern cultures, Israelite communities in crisis deemed sorrowing motherhood as a potent agent in bringing about their own survival and resurgence back to normalcy. I begin my discussion on mourning rites as tools of social preservation and restoration in biblical traditions with (1) a list of modern examples that attest to a phenomenon of social, political, and religious engagement among women that stems from the circumstance of child loss; (2) a survey of recent grief and death studies that identify maternal grief as the most intense and the most enduring among other types of bereavement; (3) an overview of ancient Near Eastern cultures (Mesopotamia, Egypt, Hatti, Syro-Palestine) that not only viewed maternal grief as paradigmatic of all mourning but also utilised ritual actions performed by mothers in contexts of large scale catastrophes as mechanisms for dealing with a collective trauma. Against this background my project then turns to discuss four biblical mothers: Hagar (Gen. 21:14-21), Rizpah (2 Sam. 21:1-14), the woman of Tekoa (2 Sam. 14:1-20) and Rachel (Jer. 31:15-22), all of whom perform rites for their dying or dead children and exhibit a form of advocacy for society at large.

This study aims to examine how preschool teachers believe that they are working on democracy and children’s rights at mealtimes in preschool. This study aims to find out if preschool teachers could see obstacle to implementing these meals in a democratic manner. Interviews with preschool teachers are used as method as preschool teachers can share their thoughts and ideas about how they work. The results of the study show that preschool teachers tend to focus on the children to be satisfied and have a quiet moment together instead of working with democracy and children’s rights at meals. Preschool teachers mention the available options and obstacles to create democratic meals. The large number of children at the dinner table was one of the obstacles they mentioned.Sammanfattning Den här studiens syfte är att undersöka hur förskollärare anser att de arbetar med demokrati och barns rättigheter vid måltiderna på förskolan. I undersökningen tar jag även att ta reda på om förskollärarna kunde se några hinder för att kunna genomföra dessa måltider på ett demokratiskt sätt. Metoden som studien utgår från är intervjuer med förskollärare, för att de då får möjlighet att dela med sig av sina tankar och idéer kring hur de arbetar. Resultatet i studien visar att förskollärarna inte har fokus på att arbeta med demokrati och barns rättigheter vid måltiderna, fokus ligger istället på att barnen ska bli mätta och ha en lugn stund tillsammans. Förskollärarna tar även upp de möjligheter och hinder som de kan stöta på för att skapa demokratiska måltider. Det stora barnantalet vid matbordet var ett av de hinder som de såg.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Safety and health is a basic human need and when not met, exacts costs that prevent societies from realizing development goals. Injury is increasing as a leading cause of death and disability. As the result of advances in public health knowledge and safety engineering technology, accidents and other injury events are often preventable. Injuries result from identifiable determinants and conditions that create exposure to identifiable hazards. By controlling hazards, the toll of injury can be reduced.International trade and investment can create conditions that increase or diminish the global injury burden. International institutions and national governments face the question of how to protect safety and health rights and reduce the injury burden in a world of increasingly global business activity. International institutions do not yet provide comprehensive regulation for exported harms. In common law nations, liability through formal law plays an important role in regulating conditions that can lead to injury. In such nations, private law can play an important role in filling segments of the regulatory gap relating to exported harms.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The concept of health committees has been promoted as an effective mechanism for assisting communities to realize their health rights. These committees tend to be formal structures made up of representatives from local government, health facilities and communities. Much of the attention has focused on identifying strategies and interventions to strengthen health committees as vehicles for achieving the right to health and the focus has been on educating, raising awareness, training and policy advocacy. However, it is important to understand what participation looks like on the ground and to take in to account the day-to-day challenges and obstacles that health committees as a vehicle for community participation; interacting with stakeholders; and getting support from health facility managers and staff. These factors impact on the health committees 'ability to facilitate and support community participation, yet they are driven by power dynamics and human interactions and relationships. Little attention has been paid to these dynamics, which play an important role in meaningful community participation at grassroots. The Power Cube framework was used to explore the multiple dimensions of power that hinder or enable the health committees' ability to support the community to realize their right to health. The Power Cube framework allowed for an investigation of how power dynamics are perceived by a particular group, as well as providing for the comparison of different social, economic and political context. It enabled a comparison with different contexts where there are policies for supporting the community participation in health but implementation has been difficult it in practice.

This study examines how the new temporary law (SFS 2016:752) guarantees the child’s right to mental health; focusing on the asylum-seeking unaccompanied minor. This subject is examined since the Swedish law that regulates migration got reduced to the minimum standards that can be found in the EU and in international conventions when Sweden received 163 000 asylum seekers during 2015. 35 400 of them were unaccompanied minors. This leads to the question if the new regulations jeopardize the child’s right to mental health. To answer that, this study’s theoretical ground that will be used is legal positivism. By practicing a legal-judicial method and law-based sociological method the study follows three questions; 1. What is Sweden bound to guarantee according to the Convention on the Right’s of the child, associated with the mental health of children and the provisions of the temporary law? 2. Does the temporary law constitute grounds for existential uncertainty, and is it thereby violating the child’s right to mental health? 3. What does the situation look like, related to the mental health of asylum-seeking unaccompanied minors? In relation to the Convention on the Right’s of the Child this temporary law, and the impact of it, is examined. In the discussion it is clear that not only article 24 (the child’s right to health) is fundamental to the question of mental health, but several other articles. The result of this study has shown that the temporary law clearly violates the asylum-seeking unaccompanied child’s right to mental health.

Thesis (Ph.D. (Health Sciences))-- University of Limpopo, 2012A theory - generative, qualitative, descriptive, exploratory and contextual design was used in this study, in phases 1 and 2. The purpose of the study was to explore and describe the nature of human rights education in the health professions programmes at the University of Limpopo, MEDUNSA Campus in order to develop a model for human rights education and teaching of the students in such programmes. In Phase 1, data were collected by means of unstructured, in-depth interviews from the sampled lecturers teaching ethics and/or human rights, as well as by observation, field notes and document analysis. The findings indicated that human rights education is an empowering process for the students, which can be facilitated through a collaborative, Inter-professional and interdisciplinary approach. The content for a human rights education programme should include Ethics and Human Rights which is contextual in terms of the South African society and also considers the international perspectives of human rights. Interactive teaching strategies should be used to facilitate maximum involvement and engagement of the student with the subject matter. In Phase 2, the construction and description of the model is done, based on the guidelines of Dickoff, James & Weidenbach (1968); Chinn & Kramer (2008); Walker & Avant (2011). The concepts which were derived from the themes that emerged from the interviews with the key informants, the observations made, the field notes, the review of selected documents and the literature which used as data, provided the framework for the model “Human Rights Education in the Health Professions”. The thesis provides the research report, and a description of the model, including the guidelines for implementation. Recommendations which are based on the findings of the study have been made with respect to education, practice and research. A key recommendation concerns the review of the content of the curriculum for human rights. Key words: collaboration, education, empowerment, ethics, human rights, human rights education.

Lowe, Daniel Matthew. "Assessing the universality of human rights in the context of health". Thesis, Durham University, 2018. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/12657/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis looks to examine the contemporary potentiality of universal human rights. It begins by noting that within the modern context the idea of universal rights is increasingly challenged by a security dominated discourse. The era of the so called ‘War on Terror’ is defined by diminished appreciation of the concept of human rights, both in terms of government commitments and popular opinion. The central aim of this thesis is to determine whether the idea of universal human rights is justifiable within these contexts. In accordance with this aim, this thesis will utilise important elements of critical jurisprudential accounts of human rights, centred on the work of Costas Douzinas. These elements, based upon challenging the accepted standards/interpretations of legal concepts, will be employed in an attempt to provide an objective appraisal of the sufficiency of prevailing interpretations of the concept of human rights. Through utilisation of Douzinas’ authoritative body of work documenting the presence of human rights in the contemporary world, this thesis will ultimately look to challenge the perception that security and human rights are competing aims. This thesis will argue that the universality of human rights relates to their overarching purpose. In accordance with James Griffin, this thesis will propose that this purpose relates to the actualisation of ‘normative agency’. Through a critical examination of the modern construct of human rights, centred around issues of human healthiness, this thesis will identify the right to health as a foundational claim – in that its fulfilment (either directly or indirectly) is a pre-requisite for the meaningfulness of other protections (and the actualisation of normative agency). This thesis will conclude by examining this concept of human healthiness within the context of national security. Here it will be shown that as both national security and human rights are centred on considerations of subsistence, they are not incompatible, and that the universality of the idea of rights is absolute. Further, it will be shown that this absoluteness reflects a permanence of purpose rather than practical implementation.
