Forthcoming conference in Prato, Tuscany, Italy: 7-10 September, 2009
Children and the Law: International approaches to children and their vulnerabilities.
Monash University Australia invites you to attend this international conference at the Monash University Centre, Prato. The conference will give particular attention to the vulnerabilities of children in the 21st century and to new and emerging challenges to their rights and best interests. Child refugees, children escaping war and trauma, new forms of child victimisation (such as children as soldiers), the pervasiveness of child sexual abuse as well as children harmed by child abuse and family breakdown, all require more effective responses from governments and national systems responsible for their care and protection. Keynote speakers address the conference themes, as do presented papers and roundtable forums.
First call for Abstracts 15 October 2008 (see website link)
