UNICEF Innocenti presents Present Imperfect, a podcast series exploring the evolution of child rights over the past three decades - and the decades to come, 35 years after the approval of the Convention on the Rights of the Child or CRC by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989.
In this episode Professor Cecile Aptel, Deputy Director at UNICEF Innocenti with several years of experience at Fletcher and Harvard Universities, will guide us through the complex interaction between children and the law.
Children interact with justice systems for many reasons because they have violated laws, because they are victims or survivors or witnesses or are interested party in the criminal proceedings. Children need the protection of the law and interventions of the justice systems to provide them with the protection and guarantee their rights.
Cecile will explain why children need access to justice and what is meant when referring broadly to justice for children, as well as the differences between juvenile justice and more broadly, justice for children. She will also guide us through the Convention on the Rights of the Child overarching principles for justice, including crime prevention, diversion or exclusion from criminal process, rehabilitation rather than punishing children, minimum age of criminal responsibility, gender differences in delinquent behavior and pathways to justice.
Cecile also talks of children involved in atrocities such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, either as victims or perpetrators.

Rigour & Vigour: Strengthening evidence on violence against children
In this podcast we're talking about UNICEF Innocenti’s new evidence (and) gap map, which visualizes what evidence exists – and where there are gaps - on interventions to reduce violence against children in low and middle income countries, with Kerry Albright, Chief of Research Facilitation and Knowledge Management, and Ramya Subrahmanian, Chief of Child Rights and Protection at UNICEF Innocenti.
The new gap map, completed in partnership with the Campbell Collaboration, arranges around 150 carefully screened impact evaluations and systematic reviews onto a framework of interventions – based on the INSPIRE framework strategies, and outcomes – such as direct impacts on violence, social norms, health, and education – into a searchable, browsable database that visualizes where the evidence exists and where there are gaps in knowledge.
• Why are we mapping evidence and gaps in evidence on violence against children?
• What does this gap map reveal about violence against children that we did not know before?
• Where are the largest gaps in our evidence and what do we already know a lot about?
These are just a few questions we discuss with Ramya and Kerry, who worked together to spearhead this research project jointly with our partners at Campbell Collaboration.
