The rights of the child are among the most disputed and violated in the international system. With our distinguished guest, we will discuss political contexts, global trends, and discursive systems shaping the pathways to the realization of the rights of the child.
The event will feature three parts: a speech delivered by Kate, an open Q&A (a form will be available online and questions will also be taken in person), and a constructive roundtable discussion between Kate and The 1984.
