- Lack of political will is an explanation
- Is about claim and entitlement                            
- There is clear obligation
- Active participation
- All have same rights
- There are overall goals
- Lack of political will is a failure of duty

Audit the quality of government services
Monitor and report human rights violations
Watchdog organisations and functions
Human rights education
Use courts to achieve justice and equality

7. THREE PILLARS IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF RBP
Pillar - PRACTICAL ACTION
Direct actions on violations of children’s rights & gaps in provision
Pillar - STRENGTHENING STRUCTURES & MECHANISM
Pressuring or/and Strengthening “capacity” of duty- bearers to meet their obligations
Pillar - BUILDING A CONSTITUENCY FOR CHILDREN’S RIGHTS
Strengthening capacity of children and civil society to claim rights and hold others to account

8. PILLAR 1 - PRACTICAL ACTION
If there is immediate violation like abuse
Important during emergencies/disasters
Rescue, medical attention, psychosocial support (counseling), relief assistance, day care centers/classes, temporary shelter, low cost housing, educational assistance, welfare, etc.
Direct services
This kind of work is essential because it is responding to the immediate needs of children

9. PILLAR 2 - STRENGTHENING STRUCTURES & MECHANISM
In this pillar, we deal with the structures that have power, authority and resources.
Sustainability measures - The purpose of this pillar is ensuring that there are long-term benefits for children.
It is at the center because it is very important that we work toward this, toward influencing policy, toward budget allocation…
What could be very difficult in this pillar? This requires engagement – knowledge, skills, values, resources, and …

10. PILLAR 3 - BUILDING A CONSTITUENCY FOR CHILDREN’S RIGHTS
Organizing, research, gathering of data, consultations, pilot projects
To enable our work in the central pillar, we need a strong force among the people in the community who share our perspectives. This force should constantly be strengthened / consolidated because they are our base for support.
Constituency – has special characteristics; there is something common with these groups of people; critical mass – certain group/number of people that is enough to create influence or do influencing

11. RIGHT BASED APPROACH Duty bearers
Demand their rights
Strengthen accountability of duty bearers
Action for Child Rights
Support people to demand their rights
Duty bearers
Right holders
Fulfil their obligations

12. IMPLICATIONS OF RBA
Putting children at the centre, recognizing them as rights-holders and social actors
Recognizing governments as primary duty- bearers
Recognizing parents and families as primary care-givers
Giving priority to children and to creating a child-friendly environment
Setting goals in terms of the fulfillment of rights
Focusing not only on the immediate, but also on the roots causes of the problems
Taking a holistic perspective that requires a multi-sectoral response
Building partnerships and alliances for promoting of child rights

13. RIGHTS COME WITH RESPONSIBILITIES
The relationship between right holder and duty bearer is central for child rights
States (and other ‘duty bearers’) are responsible to ensure that the rights of all people are equally respected, protected and fulfilled
State has an obligation to create the conditions that enable other duty bearers, such as parents, private sector, local organisations, donors, and international institutions, to fulfil their responsibilities
Right holders are responsible to respect and not to violate the rights of others
