Research on children
New cases of the serious abuse of children are still being uncovered, just as children are caught up in legislation aimed at their parents – e.g. asylum seekers or families who must survive at the lowest social income level.
Despite the authorities focusing on protecting children against abuse, and the existence of several civil society organisations working in the field, there is a need for the Institute to contribute with research-based and rights-oriented perspectives on the conditions of children’s lives and the very complex issues which can arise when children are caught between authorities and their parents.
