Join us as we uncover the century-long journey of children's rights with our distinguished guest, Dr. Philip Jaffe. Ever wondered why the United States stands alone in not ratifying the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), yet still engages with its optional protocols? This episode promises to enlighten you on global progress and the peculiarities of international commitments as we near the centennial of children's rights in 2024. Dr. Jaffe shares his insights on the historical significance and the ongoing challenges we face in safeguarding the well-being of children worldwide.

We delve into the incredible legacy of Eglantyne Jebb, whose visionary efforts during the aftermath of World War I laid the foundation for Save the Children and the broader movement for children's rights. Her story serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring struggles faced by children in conflict zones today. We confront the harsh realities that one in six children still live near these volatile areas and that a staggering billion young lives are affected by abuse globally. These truths compel us to reflect on the society we aspire to build and the urgent need to protect our most vulnerable.

Looking to the future, we explore the pivotal role of youth, particularly girls and young women, as they rise as change-makers in a world fraught with global challenges. From the climate justice movement to social reform, the determination and agency of young people illuminate a path of hope and empowerment. This episode emphasizes the importance of cross-generational collaboration in forging new pathways and nurturing a brighter tomorrow. Listen in as we discuss nurturing agency and hope among the younger generation, fostering a landscape where they are empowered to make a significant impact.
