The legal perspective on early nutrition in young children.

In this episode, we explore the complex and often overlooked relationship between legal systems and early childhood development. We talk to Tatiana Kazim and Yolisa Piliso, two legal researchers who have been studying the impact of laws and policies on children’s rights, well-being, and education in South Africa. They were the researches of the first legal paper that informed Real Reform for ECD's The Right to Nutrition campaign. We discuss how legal frameworks can either support or hinder the development of young children, especially in the areas of health and nutrition. We also look at some of the challenges on the ground with Nonhlanhla Dzingwa, an ECD practitioner who paints a picture of the realities faced by ECD centres in townships and informal settlements when providing nutrition. Tshepo, our host, makes it clear that there is a need for more evidence-based and collaborative advocacy and policymaking. Join us for this practical and inspiring conversation about the law and the little ones.
