We are faced today with a global reality where poverty and human rights violations, particularly of economic, social and cultural rights, are increasing. While these conditions impact different groups and individuals with diverse dimensions of intensity, children are amongst the most adversely affected. As children across the globe become more aware of their rights, it has become all the more critical to emphasize the universal relevance of the right to adequate housing and the significance of the human rights paradigm that offers a framework for the radical and systematic changes necessary to create a more humane world that is sensitive to the needs and rights of children. This handbook is an invaluable tool for children and child rights advocates to locate human rights issues within the international human rights, principles, laws and mechanism. It provides a practical guide on how to monitor governments and hold them accountable to the international commitments they have made to protect the child’s right to adequate housing. It propels the move towards a world designed in which children can enjoy their right to live in a place that protects their peace and dignity.
