The
editorial team of the CRIN Newsletter would like to receive accounts
of current projects, initiatives and latest developments from child
rights practitioners working to support and promote the rights of
children.
From
community-based programmes addressing child rights implementation
to lobbying for child rights at the international level, the editorial
team is keen to capture these diverse experiences and local stories
to further the development and support the institutionalisation
of child rights on a global scale. Through this, CRIN seeks to both
empower the child rights community and accelerate the implementation
of the UNCRC.
Published
since 1996, the aim of the CRIN Newsletter is to present information
about key thematic areas relevant to the child rights community
worldwide. Specifically, it aims to share experiences, challenges
and critical issues pertinent to those working in the field of child
rights in addition to providing resource updates in terms of news,
events and publications.
Strategically,
CRIN aims to democratise information on child rights and to encourage
information-sharing between different parts of the world and different
actors regarding the implementation of the UN Convention on the
Rights of the Child.
Each
issue of the CRIN Newsletter takes a thematic focus: for example,
issue 13 Macroeconomics (November 2000); issue 14 Special
Session on Children (June 2001); issue 15 Mainstreaming Child
Rights (March 2002), issue 16 Children and Young People's
Participation (October 2002). It is produced in English, French
and Spanish, three times per year, in March, July and November.
Distribution per edition is over 5,500 copies plus approximately
15,000 in electronic (pdf) format.

NEW:
To
further encourage information-sharing from around the world, with
particular focus on organisations based in the South, CRIN is dedicating
an annual edition to examine developments in child rights at the
local and national levels. This specific issue will not be thematic,
but rather, will present a range of articles relating to concerns
and challenges of promoting and supporting child rights at these
levels. This issue is entitled 'Voices from the Regions' [working
title].
