Children’s Rights in the Midst of the Public Sector Worker Strike

Children’s Rights Centre issued a statement on children’s rights in the midst of the public sector worker strike during 2011. We are calling for children’s sector organisations to endorse it and join us in standing up for the rights of all people: children and adults, workers and learners. We will need to work together in the coming days and months to address the fundamental issues, and to build and sustain justice and peace.
