We are looking for contributions from scholars, policy makers and activists who are working either in the area of women's rights or child's rights (or both) to write an article on the links among the different demands for rights by women and child rights groups within specific socio-cultural contexts. Articles should consider the similar concerns of women and children living in poverty how children's rights to well-being are intricately linked to women's rights to health, education, security and sustaining livelihoods. Contributors should consider if there are actually conflicting rights, for example in terms of early childhood care: how does women's rights to work conflict with children's rights to have love and care and security? Other concerns could be: how to encourage women and children to voice their concerns and needs in public fora, how to explain the cultural and other impediments for both groups to exercise their rights, how to create ways for women and children to know more about their rights. The articles should be original, written in accessible language and if possible with examples drawn from specific socio-cultural contexts. The journal would build on a recent Development issue 43.1 'Children in the New Millennium' with guest editor Sadig Rasheed that celebrated the 10th anniversary of the 'Convention on the Rights of the Child' (CRC). It will also directly feed into a future issue planned in 2001 with UNICEF on 'Violence Against Women and the Culture of Masculinity' Those interested should send by e-mail to wendyh@sidint.org, cc elenam@sidint.org their name, bio-note, article title and 100 word abstract. Those applying should also indicate if they would like a complimentary copy of Development 43.1 referred to above. The deadline for applications would be 30 September 2000. Following a review of the abstracts by SID and BV Leer Foundation in October 2000 the successful contributors would be sent guidelines for preparation of the article and asked to submit an article of around 3,000 words by the week ending 15 December 2000. Each author will receive a complimentary copy of the journal and 25 off-prints. ======================================================================== Monique Thibaut Voice: +39-06-487 2172 Society for International Development Fax: +39-06-487 2170 via Panisperna, 207 E-mail: moniquet@sidint.org 00184, Rome, Italy URL: http://www.sidint.org ======================================================================== _________________________________________________________________________ fem-Women2000@jca.apc.org for Women 2000, UN Special Session on Beijing+5 Searcheable Archive http://www.jca.apc.org/fem/news/women2000/index.shtml visit fem-net HomePage for other mailing lists http://www.jca.apc.org/fem
