Reporting Children’s Rights: A Case Study on Ethiopia

This report discusses that children should be provided with special rights because they are vulnerable and can be easilyvictimised by war, conflict, displacement, hunger, and epidemics. Often, children find themselves bearing the brunt of disasters to which they have made no contribution and are often caused by adults.

The report also mentions that societies that do not take appropriate responsibility for their children, due to ignorance,cultural norms as well as poverty-related priorities and decision-making processes (such as child labour) expose children to all sorts of abuses.

Topics include:

• The Convention of the Rights of the Child;
• The Convention & Ethiopian Laws - a brief comparison;
• The Convention & Ethiopian customs and traditions;
• The Ethiopian Media; and
• How the Ethiopian media reports on children's issues.
