  • Summary

  • Sue Young hosts a podcast episode discussing the obstacles preventing the U.S. from ratifying the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). She reviews two new obstacles: child labor and juvenile justice. The episode highlights issues such as child marriage, where Delaware is the only state to have outlawed it, and Louisiana's repeal of paid lunch breaks for child workers. Sue emphasizes that the international standards for minimum working age and juvenile justice are not met in the U.S. She also touches on the problematic enforcement of fair labor standards in agriculture and the lack of federal laws protecting children's rights. The CRC includes 54 articles addressing various children's rights, which the U.S. has not fully embraced. Sue concludes by calling for individual action and quoting Rosa Parks to inspire change.
