The Differentiated Impact of Human Rights Violations on Girls and Boys: A New Category of Analysis from a Childhood Perspective
Abstract
The paper proposes a childhood perspective as a category of analysis capable of identifying the differentiated impact of certain violations to the rights of girls and boys. It also acknowledges that the analysis from a childhood perspective is based on the doctrine of the comprehensive protection of children’s rights, and it encompasses: the recognition of girls and boys as rights-holders; a broad interpretation of the substantive equality principle; and a commentary on the effectiveness of the principle of the best interest of the child. In particular, the paper suggests that the general concept of ‘reasonable time’ is not enough to guarantee the special measures required for the protection of children’s rights, so that it is crucial that reinforced measures are identified in order to prevent a further impact on their rights.
