“…For instance, the notion of 'developmental child' regards children as underdeveloped and vulnerable (Piaget, 1974). Although the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was enacted in 1989, the consideration of children as incompetent is still widespread in the rearing and education of children (Vandenhole et al, 2015). Nevertheless, Brannen and Moss (2003) advocate another image of children, considering children as active rather than passive in both parent-child interactions in the families and teacher-child interactions at schools.…”

Attracting more men to balance the predominantly female workforce is one of the key issues facing the early childhood education and care (ECEC) sector. This research critically discusses the main debates regarding the issue of gendered ECEC sector, including the core concepts of childhood, masculinity and ECEC, followed by the debates about the influences of more male practitioners on both children and ECEC workforce. Although there exist some arguments against the hypothesis about men’s benefits on children and ECEC workforce, the need to get men involved in the lives of young children is reflected by government policies across different countries, such as recruitment and retention initiatives for male preschool teachers. However, most of these strategies to remove the barriers male teachers encountered, and to incorporate men and fathers, received negative results. Therefore, by building upon the need to enhance the holistic quality of ECEC workforce, new perspectives, especially from children’s perceptions, on how to change the gender imbalance in ECEC are recommended, including both the top-down policy and bottom-up strategy.

“…The way we look at a child is rooted in the past and is building up in the present (James & Prout, 2015). The different images of child coexist and create confusions and ambiguities (Vandenhole et al, 2015).…”

“…No restrictions may be placed on the exercise of these rights other than those imposed in conformity with the law and which are necessary in a democratic society in the interest of national security or public safety, public order (ordre public), the protection of public health or morals or the protection of the rights and freedoms of others. The wording of these rights almost exactly reflects the wording in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (iccpr) so as not to weaken internationally accepted human rights standards, and to avoid placing limitations on the rights that do not equally apply to adults (Vandenhole et al, 2019;Breen, 2019). Nevertheless, neither "association" nor "assembly" are defined in the iccpr or crc.…”

Children are not typically considered as being “political”, but they do possess the right to freedom of association and peaceful assembly under international human rights instruments such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Nonetheless, a lack of commentary and jurisprudence on this right of children and young people has left it largely unexplored. This article presents the findings from a digital ethnography during the #FridaysForFuture and #ClimateStrikeOnline strikes in 2020 during which young people claimed their right to freedom of assembly both in person and online. Focusing on the right to freedom of assembly, we apply Bennett and Segerberg’s (2012) concept of “connective action” to conceptualise these rights for children and young people under the uncrc, and present a four-part model that captures young people’s exercise of their rights as “connect”, “express”, “collect” and “enact”.
