Child rights in context Rights as a universal concept that must be applied contextually What rights mean for children “Do No Harm”

Child rights triangle CONTEXT

Nature of childhood in Karamoja How children develop differs in different contexts The story of Nakiru and Lokiru  Ere = manyatta = settlement  Awuyii = kraal = mobile camp

Karimojong Values Good man and good woman Respect for elders, parents, teachers Good behaviour to avoid problems Mind responsibilities Hard working  Education, study hard to get jobs

Agency of Karimojong children Responsibilities How children are heard  Kids say the most peculiar things How children contribute their opinions How children are agents in their own lives Role in out-migration Youth disciplinary committees

Child protection risks Insecurity Early marriage Child sexual abuse Out-migration Exploitive labour Female Genital Cutting

Child protection structures Formal system Informal system Links between the formal & informal Challenges in information Challenges in access, effectiveness, & accountability

Working within the context How do we build upon values to promote child rights in Karamoja? How do we encourage the participation and agency of children within this context? How do we work in an integrated manner to protect children? HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT ALL CHILDREN ENJOY THEIR RIGHTS?
