Early childhood care and education as a source of protection and development in the context of community violence
The paper examines early childhood care and education (ECCE) services as risk mitigators in early learning and development for young children exposed to violence of different kinds in their communities. Case studies in a low-income community each in Brazil and South Africa explored parent, teacher, young children and community service provider perceptions of safety issues. It considers how structural and community factors that influence safety an…
Involving children in global health policy and programming
Children face new and growing threats to their health and well-being, including rising rates of non-communicable diseases and mental health disorders linked to the influence of commercial determinants of health and climate change, among other issues. Yet despite their right to participation established under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, children are rarely invited to participate in global health processes meant to ben…
Para além do adultocentrismo
Este artigo discute perspectivas latino-americanas sobre a participação infantil e juvenil na defesa dos seus direitos em espaços de atuação intergeracional.

Os conceitos de protagonismo, p…
Advancing Children’s Rights through Law and Policy
This article presents experiences of advancing children’s participation in law and policy in Brazil, Scotland and South Africa. It is based on a conversation that took place in a webinar hosted by the Policy Working Group of the International and Canadian Child Rights Partnership. Using duoethnography, we delve into three issues: (1) ways children participate in the development of child-related laws and policies; (2) the leverage points for navig…
A cidadania prometida
Neste artigo, parto da expressão de menor a cidadão, muito utilizada na década de 1980 para marcar mudanças de paradigmas em curso referentes à infância pobre, percebida como abandonada e/ou delinquente. Implícita nessa expressão está a noção de uma cidadania prometida a crianças e adolescentes, expressa nas normativas adotadas no Brasil à época, a partir da qual passaram a ser considerados sujeitos de direitos. Para empreender esta análise, util…
A tale of two Youth Expert Groups ( YEGs )
This paper explores how research advisory groups can be a vehicle for youth activism. It draws on our experiences with young activists, aged 15–26 years, in India and Brazil, who were advisors on a research project focused on youth livelihoods in cities. These young people played a vital role in supporting youth researchers, identifying research themes and developing engagement and advocacy strategies. Through this paper, we explore how the Youth…
Reimagining institutional ethics procedures in research partnerships with young people across Majority/Minority World contexts
While institutional ethics are crucial, their application on the ground often creates tensions with what is considered ‘ethical'. This paper reflects on the dissonances between formal institutional ethics and community-based research. The focus is on a project involving young people from India and Brazil, where they actively contributed as co-researchers and advisors. The project's international collaboration encompassed partners from Majority an…
Conceptualising quality early childhood education
Early childhood has increasingly been acknowledged as a vital time for all children. Inclusive and quality education is part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with the further specification that all children have access to quality pre‐primary education. As early childhood education (ECE) has expanded worldwide, so have concerns about the quality of ECE provision, including whether its pedagogy is culturally meaningful and conte…
The Impact of the Covid‐19 Global Health Pandemic in Early Childhood Education Within Four Countries
The recent Covid‐19 global health pandemic has negatively affected the political and economic development of communities around the world. This article shares the lessons from our multi‐country project Safe, Inclusive Participative Pedagogy: Improving Early Childhood Education in Fragile Contexts (UKRI GCRF) on how children in communities in Brazil, Eswatini, South Africa, and Scotland have experienced the effects of the pandemic. This article be…
International perspectives on the participation of children and young people in the Global South
This paper presents findings from a study exploring children’s participation and protection rights. The research was conducted by the International and Canadian Child Rights Partnership (ICCRP) – a multi-sectoral partnership, involving academic institutions, non-government organisations, and young people in five countries. Although funding came from a Canadian federal agency, partners adopted a decolonial approach to break down inequitable power …
Fostering global dialogue
The children's rights and child protection sectors are at a critical juncture: will they evolve to reflect and respond to changing conceptualisations in the 21st century or will they continue to reproduce 19th‐ and 20th‐century preoccupations with saving child victims? Informed by systematic reviews of the English‐ and Latin American academic literature in Spanish and Portuguese and key informant interviews with international stakeholders, this p…
Four decades of Brazilian and international research on street children
The last 40 years has yielded a vast body of literature on street children. In this article, we reflect on the knowledge accumulated by several generations of scholars and across two bodies of research. The article’s aim is twofold: 1) To conduct a meta-narrative review, mapping out the contours of Brazilian and Anglophone literature on street children since the 1980s until today. 2) To bridge these two bodies of literature through reflections on…
Involving child and youth advisors in academic research about child participation
População infantil e adolescente nas ruas
Crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua tornaram-se um fenômeno comum para aqueles que circulam pelas áreas centrais das grandes cidades brasileiras. Embora essa seja uma questão social complexa, ela ainda é marcada pela invisibilidade na agenda política nacional. Este artigo visa contribuir para o aprofundamento do debate contemporâneo sobre o tema, analisando-o em suas múltiplas dimensões, a partir do levantamento da produção acadêmica nacio…
Let's Win this Game Together
Sport's transformative potential is known to support marginalised children, to deal with traumatic experiences and instil positive values; yet hosting mega sporting events (MSEs) can have negative impacts. Drawing on participatory research with favela-based children during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, this article argues that MSEs bring a macro-securitisation of urban life, which causes considerable harm. This paper also suggests that the inclus…
Past, present and futures of childhood studies
Percepções sobre violência no cotidiano dos jovens
Este artigo discute a vivência da juventude em contextos de violência urbana. A partir da revisão teórica sobre violência e juventude, desenvolve uma análise com base em uma pesquisa empírica realizada, em 2014, com jovens moradores de uma favela em Niterói (RJ). Os depoimentos coletados em campo exemplificam as percepções desses jovens sobre a violência, sobretudo após a implantação das Unidades de Polícia Pacificadoras (UPPs) na capital do Esta…
The Promise of Citizenship for Brazilian Children
This article explores the ideas behind the promise of citizenship to children in Brazil. The human rights of children has become a very important issue in Brazil. This has been especially true since the inclusion of Article 227 in the 1988 Constitution referring to children's rights and the approval of the Statute on the Child and the Adolescent in 1990, less than a year after the ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the…
Percepções e experiências de participação cidadã de crianças e adolescentes no Rio de Janeiro

O estudo foi conduzido em escolas públicas e privadas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, e realizado com crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua e do Movimento Sem-Terra (MST). A pesquisa abordou questões relativas às dimensões sociais, econômicas e políticas, assim…
The Evolution of Child Rights Councils in Brazil
If it is true that a child rights framework alters our views and actions towards improving children’s lives, it is also true that the breadth of the concept makes concrete implementation difficult. In this paper the expansiveness of the concept is addressed by focusing attention on a community-based model of child-care derived from the Child Rights Legislation in Brazil. Departing from a general view of the child related policies in Brazil, the c…

Street Children
In general terms, this article presents a profile of the so-called `street children' of Latin America, outlining their main characteristics, their interpersonal relations and their daily life in the streets. Based on an extensive bibliography, it was possible to touch on various aspects of their experiences of life, very different from the experiences which are typical of a childhood within the confines of family and school. The compilation of th…
