About the Book

This comprehensive sourcebook on child rights education is a vital tool in creating awareness about children's rights and empowering both children and their primary duty-bearers—such as parents, teachers, and community members—to advocate for and enforce these rights at the family, school, and community levels. Focused on primary prevention related to inclusion and protection, the book covers a wide range of issues affecting children in today's society.

The first part of the book addresses child rights education for inclusion and protection, examining the rights of girls, children with disabilities, and Dalit and tribal children to non-discrimination and inclusion. It also highlights the importance of cultural and financial inclusion for children, emphasizing how essential it is for children to feel included in all aspects of family and societal life.

The second part discusses child rights education in the context of preventing violence. It covers a broad array of critical issues such as the prevention of physical violence, commercial exploitation, sexual violence, problems in adolescent sexual relationships, child marriage, and conflict with the law. The book also offers insight into how social workers, researchers, teachers, and legal professionals can effectively address these concerns to ensure that children's rights are protected across the globe, especially in developing countries.

This book is essential reading for social workers, lawyers, researchers, trainers, and teachers who are working on child rights, especially those in developing nations, offering practical advice and extensive knowledge on how to create a safer, more inclusive world for children. The authors draw on their vast experience in the fields of child welfare and social work, making this an invaluable resource for anyone involved in child protection and rights-based education.
