Rights Issues

This concluding chapter begins with a discussion of how the global coronavirus pandemic called attention to children’s rights issues, specifically in how children were not allowed to participate in decisions directly affecting their “best interests,” as required by CRC. Granting children human rights will fundamentally alter the nature of both democracy and human rights. Giving children citizenship rights will renew democracy, as past enfranchisements have, but also will push democracies to resemble less Western, liberal models. Group rights will predominate in democracies where children are full citizens. Also, the human rights agendas of child-incorporating democracies will be dominated by social and economic rights issues, since children’s rights of protection and provision will be given priority. Finally, children’s participation rights will emerge as crucial in diminishing structural inequality in democratic societies, providing a pathway to a fuller form of social justice predicated on the human rights of children.

Educational Paths

Starting from the concept of social justice and from universal children’s rights (UN, 1989), the contribution questions the role of education in enhancing the originality and uniqueness of each one and in restoring responsibility and dignity to fragile (Milani, 2019), difficult (Bertolini ,1993) and deviant (Vico, 1988) young people. In a complex contemporaneity, tested by pandemic’s sufferings and restrictions, the pedagogical look underlines the importance of reconstructing – starting from school – promotional, capacitating and justice-oriented paths. Deviant acts are read in the light of a broad social responsibility. We propose the empowerment of an educating community (Agazzi, 1968) aimed at participation, dialogue (Freire, 2002) and assumption of an active and inclusive citizenship. The juvenile penal system is collectively rethought, favouring diversion from prosecution, mediation, reparation and probation strategies.   Giustizia e devianza minorile dopo la pandemia Covid-19. Percorsi alternativi tra promozione scolastica e rieducazione.   Partendo dal concetto di giustizia sociale e dai diritti universali delle bambine, dei bambini e degli adolescenti (UN, 1989), il contributo si interroga sul ruolo dell’educazione nel valorizzare l’originalità e l’unicità di ciascuno e nel restituire responsabilità e dignità ai soggetti fragili (Milani, 2019), difficili (Bertolini, 1993) e devianti (Vico, 1988). In una contemporaneità complessa, provata dalla sofferenza e dalle restrizioni della pandemia, lo sguardo pedagogico sottolinea l’importanza di ricostruire, a partire dalla scuola, percorsi promozionali, capacitanti e orientati alla giustizia. Si rileggono gli atti devianti alla luce di un’ampia responsabilità sociale e si propone l’empowerment di una comunità educante (Agazzi, 1968) volta alla partecipazione, al dialogo (Freire, 2002) e all’assunzione di una cittadinanza attiva e inclusiva per ripensare collettivamente il sistema penale minorile privilegiando deviazioni dall’accusa, strategie di mediazione, di riparazione e di messa alla prova.

The Impact

How do mothers of disabled children navigate the roles of advocate and activist? This paper reflects on the experiences of mothers of disabled children, exploring the impact upon families who take on responsibilities for working for disabled children’s rights. It is from these experiences that, as mothers, we join other activists and academics in the growing radical disability rights movement. The purpose of this paper is to illuminate the labour of advocate mothers and to tell our stories of success. We also aim to provide recommendations to mothers, fathers, families, schools, academic communities and those invested in social justice, to work toward future positive action on behalf of disabled children.
