Right now the Children's Rights Week is going on in Halmstad municipality where the municipality, through a series of activities and lectures, is paying attention to the Children's Convention, but also what it will mean for it to become law in 2020.
It was in June 2018 that a majority in Parliament voted in favor of the government's proposal that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child should become law.
In practice, this means that the rights of the children must be strengthened and that the thoughts and opinions of the children must be taken into account in, for example, court proceedings or other decisions.
In the clip, Karin Back talks about the work that is going on in Halmstad municipality, and what changes will happen when the Children's Convention becomes law.
