This is the first book that examines Ghana's compliance with the
United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Ghana
being the first country to ratify the Convention, it thus fills an
important gap in the literature on Ghana. The book throws a
searchlight on a wide range of rights issues including children's
identity, violence against children and women, child exploitation and
children in conflict with the law plus a host of other CRC related
issues and further identifies and explains the main obstacles in the
way of realizing children's rights in Ghana. A major strength of this
book is that the contributors, Ghanaians and non-Ghanaians alike have
vast experience in empirical research in Ghana and most importantly,
come from diverse academic disciplines. Researchers, instructors, and
students of Social Work, Sociology, Criminology Human Rights,
Education and Law, are examples of a few academic disciplines that
would find this book a welcome relief in their search for relevant and
current data on children's issues in Ghana. It should also be of great
interest to policy makers, human rights activists, Children's NGOs and
international development partners interested in children's issues.
