100 Years of Children's Rights


Listen Later

2024 marks 100 years since the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child. In the aftermath of World War I, this declaration called for universal attention to the needs of children, including their health. A century later, we've made progress, but children still face vast challenges here in the United States and around the world. How can we advance the global cause of children's health? In this episode we talk to one of the world's foremost ambassadors for this work about the struggles and opportunities facing children's healthcare.

Professor Ann Skelton is a renowned children's rights expert and Chair of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. She is a professor of law at the University of Pretoria and Leiden University, as well as a visiting professor at the University of Oxford and the University of Strathclyde.

Some highlights from this episode include:

  • A look into Ann Skelton's work
  • The current state of children's rights in the U.S. and around the world
  • The challenges facing children's healthcare and how health advocacy can help change that
  • Tangible opportunities to engage in to ensure all children have access to the healthcare they need
