Rights of Children, Youth and Women

Future-just policy solutions are essential to tackling the interconnected challenges of safeguarding human rights and security, ecological integrity and social equity to ensure a sustainable, fair and more inclusive future for all.

Peace & Disarmament

To achieve human and environmental security, we urgently need to re-direct military spending and build a sustainable culture of peace. The effects of war can be felt long after a conflict has ceased.

Climate & Energy

Despite noticeable climate change, 80% of our energy still comes from massively subsidised fossil fuels at the expense of future generations. With the right policy incentives, we can rapidly spread abundant renewable energies and achieve a 100% target.

Sustainable Ecosystems

We are consuming the foundations of our existence at a faster rate than the planet can replenish them. The sustainable use of natural resources and effective ecosystem management is critical to our shared future.

Zanzibar’s Children’s Act

YouTube

Zanzibar’s Children’s Act is a pioneering comprehensive child rights law covering custody, foster parentage, and guardianship, as well as the roles and responsibilities of professionals and institutions in providing services for children, dealing with children in need of care and protection and those in conflict with the law. The Act lays the foundation for a coordinated child-protection system while also implementing a range of obligations under regional and international conventions on the rights of the child. It serves as a promising model both for its drafting process which involved a pioneering community-level child participation process and its provisions which have led to a marked societal change in attitudes towards children and their rights.
