Advancing children’s rights through the CRC Jamie Neill a retrospective on the work of the Society for Children and Youth of British Columbia / [electronic resource] :

This article traces the gradual adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child as a framework for action by one of B.C.’s longstanding charitable organizations
advancing the well-being of children and youth, the Society for Children and Youth of BC. Using the four guiding principles of the Convention as a lens, this retrospective examines how the
Society’s projects have been informed by, and benefited from, the Convention.
Since 1974, the Society for Children and Youth of BC has focused on providing a strong voice representing young people, as well as supporting adult duty bearers to improve the well-being of children and youth in British Columbia. Using the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as a foundation, SCY has a track record of creating and delivering programs that have motivated change in research, legislation, policy, and practice in Canada.
