Episode 71: Laura Lundy, Part Two

In Episode 71, Laura Lundy examines global challenges to children’s rights, with particular attention to migration, poverty, and participation. She discusses the persistent failure of media and adult institutions to recognize children—especially child migrants—as full rights holders. Laura highlights the role of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child in advancing participation rights over time and reflects on both the barriers and successes of child rights education. The conversation explores the essential role of law in human rights education, arguing that understanding local legal frameworks empowers children to become advocates for their own rights. Laura addresses contemporary challenges in the UK, including child poverty, opposition to children’s rights frameworks, and the erosion of protections driven by libertarian ideology. She also considers the fragility of social safety nets in the United States and the harmful impact of censorship on children’s access to information. The episode concludes with reflections on role models such as Gerison Lansdown, Janusz Korczak, Michael Freeman, a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt emphasizing change in “small places,” and a call to fully implement Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) as a global strategy for advancing children’s rights.
