”Det handlar om kärlek” – ett projekt om barns och ungdomars rättigheter

The handbook ’Det handlar om kärlek’ – It’s about love – is a project about the rights of children and young people. In Sweden, due to immigration, many girls live under pressure to conform to multi-cultural expectations. They are often expected to get married to the man selected by their family and to live up to very traditional expectations. The book sets out to show ways to help young people at risk of violence and oppression in the name of honour. It includes information on the work that Save the Children is carrying out in schools with the intent to empower children and young people to exercise their rights based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
