As a result, ‘November 20’ was labelled for adoption of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, in 1959; and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in 1989. The UNGA recommended to governments to honor the day felicitously and to promote the mission of the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF)2. The International Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) defines a “child” as a person below the age of 18 and urges all governments to increase the level of protection for all children under 18 -regardless of their race, religion, or abilities, whatever they think or say, whatever type of family they come from. Governments should ensure that no child is discriminated on any basis, by taking all necessary steps to ensure that the minimum standards set by the Convention are being met. These necessary steps also include to help families, protect children’s rights and create an environment where they can grow and reach their potential (Article 1-4)3. According to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, “all people, irrespective of sex, age, race, ethnicity, and persons with disabilities, migrants, indigenous peoples, children and youth, especially those in vulnerable situations, should have access to life-long learning opportunities that help them acquire the knowledge and skills needed to exploit opportunities and to participate fully in society4 .” In relation to that, the document promises “to provide children and youth with a nurturing environment for the full realization of their rights and capabilities, helping our countries to reap the demographic dividend including through safe schools and cohesive communities and families5.” In order to open the ground for an academic discussion of this “nurturing environment of children for the full realization of their rights and capabilities”, in partnership with Arigatou International/Prayer and Action for Children, Ufuk Dialog Foundation and the Journalists and Writers Foundation organize the 4th International Family Conference with a focus on children and family. International Family Conference is a biennial international academic conference which is organized by the Journalists and Writers Foundation (JWF), which had General Consultative Status at UN Economic 1) General Assembly resolution 836(IX), Universal Children’s Day, A/RES/836(IX) (14 December 1954), available from http://undocs.org/A/RES/836(IX) 2) Ibid. 3) Convention on the Rights of the Child, New York, 20 November 1989, United Nations Treaty Series, vol. 1577, No. 27531, p.3, available from https://treaties.un.org/doc/Publication/UNTS/Volume%201577/v1577.pdf 4) General Assembly resolution 70/1, Annex, para 25, Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (25 September 2015), available from http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/migration/ generalassembly/docs/globalcompact/A_RES_70_1_E.pdf 5) Ibid. 8 and Social Council (ECOSOC). Its aim is to stimulate interdisciplinary and cross-national collaboration and approach to various family issues. It is promoted that on the Universal Children’s Day, Children’s Rights should be celebrated on the basis of the Convention. Also, the day should be devoted to ideals and objectives of the Charter with joint efforts by the all countries and regions to continuously build up a living-friendly environment for children in the world through dialogues and actions. In that sense, International Family conference IV joins the Arigatou International, Action and Prayer for Children to honor the Children’s Rights. The Prayer and Action for Children occurs every year on the Universal Children’s Day, November 20, to safeguard the integrity, rights and dignity of children and promote their well-being via the partnership of world’s religions, faith-based groups, secular organizations and people of goodwill. On the Day, all over the world, prayer services accompanied by one or two common, measurable actions for the survival, development and protection of children are encouraged. “The logo for the World Day of Prayer and Action for Children features a stylized image of a child painting a rainbow in the sky. The rainbow in the design symbolizes the beautiful diversity of the human family; the many colors unite in a single rainbow to express the universal hope that all children will one day be able to grow to their full potential in a peaceful world. The child in the design is taking creative action to produce the rainbow, representing the inspired work of people of good will everywhere — especially the efforts of children and young people — to build a world fit for children.”6 Journalists and Writers Foundation 6) https://prayerandactionforchildren.org/who-we-are/5-who-we-are/who-we-are/206-world-day-logo 9 OPENING SPEECH I Binta Masi Garba Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Representing Adamawa North Senatorial District In this part of the world, it is often incomprehensible to many as far as the population is concerned to accept the truism of women and children to having rights, despite legislation and Act which legitimizes it. The Chairman, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. I would like to welcome you all to this 4th International Family Conference tagged “CHILDREN’S RIGHTS AND FAMILY”. I am greatly honoured by your invitation and highly delighted to have this opportunity to make the opening speech at this year’s event. I appreciate the leadership of UFUK DIALOGUE FOUNDATION and partners for the confidence reposed in me to set the tone in this discourse that will follow. I strongly belief that the array of panelist paraded here today will do justice to the issues at hand. Although, there is no clear-cut definition to who a child is, there is however one irreversible characteristics which is VULNERABILITY; he has no means to neither protect nor provide for himself. JUST TO RECAP: “In 1924, the League of Nations (LON) adopted the Geneva Declaration that recognized and affirmed for the first time the existence of rights specific to children and their responsibilities”. On 20 November 1959, the struggle continued with the effort of the United Nations through the adoption of the declaration of child’s right in 1959. In 2003, Nigeria adopted what is popularly known as Act No. 26, “The Child’s Right Act, 2003” to provide and protect every Nigerian child and other related matters. This provision is clearly enshrined in the 1999 constitution under the provisions in Chapter IV. The rights recognize; • The right to education, standard of living, health etc. • The right to protection against slavery, torture, violence and bad treatment • Right to proper parenting either by parents or guidance • No child shall be discriminated by reason of his belonging to a particular community/ethnic group, sex, religion etc. According to the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of the Child, “a child is a person below the age of 18, unless the laws of a particular country set the legal age for adulthood younger”.

    Shades of Intolerance: The Influence of Terrorism on Discriminatory Attitudes and Behaviors in the United Kingdom and Canada. by Chuck Baker A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Global Affairs Written under the direction of Dr. Gregg Van Ryzin and approved by ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May, 2015 Copyright page: © 2015 Chuck Baker All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Influence of Terrorism on Discriminatory Attitudes and Behaviors in the United Kingdom and Canada by Chuck Baker Dissertation Director: Dr. Gregg Van Ryzin, Ph.D. Terrorism has been shown to have a destabilizing impact upon the citizens of the nation- state in which it occurs, causing social distress, fear, and the desire for retribution (Cesari, 2010; Chebel d’Appollonia, 2012). Much of the recent work on 21st century terrorism carried out in the global north has placed the focus on terrorism being perpetuated by Middle East Muslims. In addition, recent migration trends show that the global north is becoming much more diverse as the highly populated global south migrates upward. Population growth in the global north is primarily due to increases in the minority presence, and these post-1960 changes have increased the diversity of historically more homogeneous nations like the United Kingdom and Canada. This research examines the influence of terrorism on discriminatory attitudes and behaviors, with a focus on the United Kingdom in the aftermath of the July 7, 2005 terrorist attacks in London.

BACKGROUND Eco-Social Development Organization (ESDO) has started its journey in 1988 with a noble vision to stand in solidarity with the poor and marginalized people. Being a peoples' centered organization, we envisioned for a society which will be free from inequality and injustice, a society where no child will cry from hunger and no life will be ruined by poverty. Over the last thirty years of relentless efforts to make this happen, we have embraced new grounds and opened up new horizons to facilitate the disadvantaged and vulnerable people to bring meaningful and lasting changes in their lives. During this long span, we have adapted with the changing situation and provided the most time-bound effective services especially to the poor and disadvantaged people. Taking into account the government development policies, we are currently implementing a considerable number of projects and programs including micro-finance program through a community focused and people centered approach to accomplish government’s development agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN as a whole.

  • The Effects of Islam, Religiosity, and Socialization on Muslim-Canadian Opinions About Same-Sex Marriage
    COMPARATIVE MIGRATION STUDIES www.comparativemigrationstudies.org Published by: Amsterdam University Press The Effects of Islam, Religiosity, and Socialization on Muslim-Canadian Opinions about Same-Sex Marriage Christopher Cochrane CMS 1 (1): 147–178 DOI: 10.5117/CMS2013.1.COCH Abstract Critics of Islam often frame anti-Islamic positions as a defense of tolerance against intolerance, and of equality against inequality. Islam, for this perspec- tive, poses challenges for the ideological integration of Muslim immigrants in Western societies. This paper examines Canadian Muslims’ opinions about same-sex marriage. The analysis suggests that Canadian Muslims, as a group, do have distinctively negative opinions about same-sex marriage, but that there is substantial and systematic variation in opinions about this issue within the Muslim-Canadian community. Indeed, it is religiosity in general, rather than Islam in particular, that generates negative opinions about gay marriage. Exposure to the Canadian context, and especially postsecondary education, largely undoes the distinctiveness of Canadian Muslims’ opinions about this issue. Keywords: Islam, Muslims, Immigration, Public Opinion, Same-Sex Marriage 1. Introduction In January 2007, the town of Hérouxville, Québec, Canada drafted a series of resolutions aimed at prospective immigrants. The most controversial resolution prohibited the stoning of women in public. “Nous considérons que les hommes et les femmes sont égaux et ont la même valeur,” the docu- ment proclaims, reaffirming the community’s basic commitment to the fundamental rights of women, including their right to walk unaccompanied in public, attend school, and operate a vehicle (Municipalité de Hérouxville, 2010). The anti-Muslim sentiment that inspired these resolutions was CMS 2013, VOL.
