Poverty and exclusion among urban children

Pais, Marta Santos

This digest offers many examples of cities and towns where municipal authorities have grasped the opportunity to help children living in poverty, to promote their social inclusion, to ensure respect for their human rights and to involve them as partners in urban decision-making. This digest is a contribution to a pool of existing knowledge on how to reverse negative trends in urban areas and ensure the human rights of children.
