Its Not Fair: why it's time for a grown-up conversation about how adults treat c

Description: Its Not Fair by Eloise Rickman Why do some adults think its fine to hit children? Why does the school system fail so many pupils? And when their future is on the line, why cant children vote?How we treat children isnt fair. Despite the lip service paid to their rights, children are still discriminated against in every aspect of their lives- rising levels of child poverty, underfunded and outdated education and childcare systems, controlling parenting practices, and political systems that exclude their voices on issues which will affect them most - not least the climate crisis.Children are not passive victims of oppression, but their resistance and struggle for equality has been largely ignored by the wider social justice movement - until now. In this groundbreaking manifesto, Eloise Rickman argues that its time to stop viewing children as less than adults and start fighting for their rights to be taken seriously.Radical, compassionate, and profoundly hopeful, this powerful new book signals the start of a long-overdue conversation about how we treat children. Featuring practical solutions and the voices of children and adults who are working towards them, Its Not Fair is a call to embrace childrens liberation and the possibility of a better, fairer world.Thought-provoking, thorough, and passionately argued. Be prepared to have your mind changed - this may well be the most important book you read all year.-Penny Wincer, author of TenderRevolutionary yet compassionate, Its Not Fair offers a persuasive and paradigm-shifting argument for childrens equality. Rickmans deep research, forensic examination, and passionate yet practical tone make this an engaging and hopeful book that simultaneously challenges our deeply held views and offers radical new ideas for childrens inclusion in the societies they are soon to inherit. A must-read for parents, educators, activists, and anyone who wishes their voice had been heard as a child.-Rebecca Schiller, author of EarthedThis is a book steeped in compassion and humanity.
