"For decades I have been familiar with Jo Becker's passion, thorough knowledge, and consistent drive for the children whose rights are systematically denied. This book examines initiatives and strategies to show that change for children is possible, and that remarkable transformation is achievable. Campaigning for Children, with its most compelling evidence, will go a long way in ensuring that human rights of children are protected worldwide."—Kailash Satyarthi, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and Children's Rights Activist

"This compelling introduction to children's rights draws on the experience of activists addressing critical problems such as child marriage, child labor, child sex tourism, child soldiers, and access to education. Becker shows the interconnections between these issues both in causation and approaches to remediation. Clear and interesting, Campaigning for Children provides a key guide for moving forward and hope for the future of children across the globe."—Cynthia Grant Bowman, Cornell Law School

"Campaigning for Children carefully explores the concrete initiatives that have improved the lives of children, and highlights successful advocacy strategies. State authorities, academics, human rights institutions, civil society organizations, as well as the professionals who work with and for children will benefit from reading it. Becker's book is a vital resource in our collective effort to create a world fit for children."—Benyam Dawit Mezmur, UN Committee on the Rights of the Child
