Innocenti Working Papers Intersectional Discrimination against Children: Discrimination against Romani children and anti-discrimination measures to address child trafficking AUTHOR(S) Camilla Ida Ravnbøl Published: 2009 Innocenti Working Papers This paper adds a perspective to existing research on child protection by engaging in a debate on intersectional discrimination and its relationship to child protection. The paper has a two-fold objective: (1) to further establish intersectionality as a concept to address discrimination against children; and (2) to illustrate the importance of addressing intersectionality within rights-based programmes of child protection. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 62 | Thematic area: Child Protection | Tags: child trafficking, discrimination, discrimination based on social origin, human rights violation, minority children, roma, roma children × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Camilla Ida Ravnbøl 2009 Intersectional Discrimination against Children: Discrimination against Romani children and anti-discrimination measures to address child trafficking. , pp. 62.
Innocenti Global Seminar Children and Families of Ethnic Minorities, Immigrants and Indigenous Peoples: Global Seminar Report, 1995 AUTHOR(S) Maggie Black Published: 1997 Innocenti Global Seminar The seventh Innocenti Global Seminar, held in Florence in October 1996, brought together participants with a wide range of experiences and perspectives to discuss discrimination against ethnic minorities, immigrants and indigenous peoples and to suggest how their needs can be better accommodated in programming and advocacy. The Report emphasizes participation, education and empowerment and calls for systematic attention to be paid to minority populations in all situation analyses. While it recognizes that the political climate in many countries can make advocacy on behalf of minority groups difficult, it also stresses that the near-universal ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child brings with it an obligation to speak out for the rights of all children, and particularly the most disadvantaged. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 56 | Thematic area: Minorities | Tags: children in especially difficult circumstances, minority children, rights of minority children | Publisher: UNICEF ICDC, Florence × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Maggie Black 1997 Children and Families of Ethnic Minorities, Immigrants and Indigenous Peoples: Global Seminar Report, 1995. , pp. 56.

Innocenti Insights Deprivation and Discrimination AUTHOR(S) Paolo Basurto Published: 1995 Innocenti Insights The children of an ethnic group, race or religious denomination represent its continuity - they embody a potential for future diversity. This has resulted throughout history in their extreme vulnerability in times of conflict among or involving such groups: they are perceived as the enemies of the future and made prime targets of genocide. Children are also the main victims of less obvious manifestations of ‘everyday’, peacetime discrimination, as infant mortality, infant morbidity and educational attainment data from every part of the world has shown. To investigate ways in which to address these issues, the UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre organised a meeting on ‘Discrimination Against Children of Minority Groups and Indigenous Peoples’ in 1994. This publication brings together abridged versions of its main discussion papers. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 104 | Thematic area: Minorities | Tags: children in especially difficult circumstances, discrimination, minority children, minority groups, rights of indigenous children, rights of minority children | Publisher: UNICEF ICDC, Florence × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Paolo Basurto 1995 Deprivation and Discrimination. , pp. 104.
Innocenti Occasional Papers, Child Rights Series Double Jeopardy: The children of ethnic minorities AUTHOR(S) Rodolfo Stavenhagen Published: 1994 Innocenti Occasional Papers, Child Rights Series Though the relationships between ethnic minorities and dominant societies are multi-faceted and complex, the interrelated but distinct dimensions of marginalization and discrimination provide a useful framework for studying minority groups. Poor children the world over are vulnerable to abuses and violence, exploitation and human rights violations. When, in addition, they belong to disadvantaged minorities, their plight warrants special attention and requires special policies. The paper concludes by exploring several areas relating to minority children which call for further research, not only with the aim of developing the most effective policies for improving the situtation of minority children but also in order to contribute to the creation of a world in which cultural diversity can lead to more, rather than less, tolerance and to the equal enjoyment of human rights by all. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 32 | Thematic area: Minorities | Tags: children's rights, discrimination, minority children, minority groups, rights of minority children | Publisher: UNICEF ICDC, Florence × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Rodolfo Stavenhagen 1994 Double Jeopardy: The children of ethnic minorities. , pp. 32.
Innocenti Publications Education Rights and Minorities Published: 1994 Innocenti Publications Educational rights for minority groups may be included in states' education systems and also enshrined intheir statutes. However, states' laws, their declarations and their educational systems are largely normative statements. For many minority groups, the key issue is whether educational practice actually recognises those legal obligations and aspirations and provides a full, effective and fulfiling education for their young people. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 40 | Thematic area: Minorities | Tags: education, minority children, minority groups, right to education, rights of minority children × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION 1994 Education Rights and Minorities. , pp. 40.

Innocenti Occasional Papers, Urban Child Series Children of Migrants and Ethnic Minorities: An overview and conceptual framework AUTHOR(S) Cristina S. Blanc; Paolo Chiozzi Published: 1992 Innocenti Occasional Papers, Urban Child Series Following the Second World War and particularly after the 1960s, many Western European countries experienced positive immigration. Migrations to each specific country differed in origin and were influenced by the historical ties between the sending and receiving countries, particularly in the case of migrations from ex-colonies. However, international economic conditions and political situations also caused similar migration trends across countries, in particular the "contract work" migrations of the 1960s and the new waves of immigrants from developing countries of the 1970s and 1980s. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 76 | Thematic area: Minorities | Tags: migrant children, minority children | Publisher: UNICEF ICDC, Florence × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Cristina S.
