And when their future is on the line, why can't children vote?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow we treat children isn't 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are still discriminated against in every aspect of their lives: rising levels of child poverty, underfunded and outdated education and childcare systems, controlling parenting practices, and political systems that exclude their voices on issues which will affect them most - not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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChildren 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 it's time to stop viewing children as less than adults and start fighting for their rights to be taken seriously.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRadical, 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, \u003ci\u003eIt's Not Fair\u003c\/i\u003e is a call to embrace children's liberation and the possibility of a better, fairer world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Thought-provoking, thorough, and passionately argued.
