The Routledge Handbook of Children's Rights in Africa provides a comprehensive exploration of contemporary research on children's rights within diverse African contexts.

It documents and analyses the challenges affecting African children's wellbeing whilst also highlighting innovative continental solutions. The book seeks to reframe the children's rights discourse by prioritising African scholarship and perspectives, centring African philosophical traditions, indigenous knowledge systems, and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) as a philosophically significant instrument in its own right, and bridging theoretical contributions with practical case studies from across different cultural, social, and political landscapes. Challenges such as educational access, exploitation risks, climate change impacts, digital vulnerabilities, changing family structures, and post-pandemic realities are all explored. However, the book goes beyond problem identification to showcase successful interventions in areas such as culturally sensitive child protection, education, ethical technologies, and community-based and grassroots approaches to policy change, amongst others.

Authoritative, yet accessible, this important handbook will be an essential resource for advanced students and researchers across the fields of law, sociology, anthropology, psychology, development studies, and African studies, as well as for practitioners and policymakers seeking to improve the effectiveness of their interventions and chart directions for a post-SDG children's rights framework.
