Let's Catch Freedom! #12: Rights of Children and a Free Society

This panel discussion touched on several topics, including:

• • Which rights do children have, and who can protect them best?

  • Would the new family law improve the protection of children’s’ rights?

  • What does it mean for children when the adoption authority is transferred from social work agencies to family courts?

  • Are parents disarmed in their raising capacity when they cannot physically punish their children in any way?

  • Are Slovenians ready to recognize and honor the rights of others, even when we do not agree with their values and personal decisions?

We were joined by a panel of experts:

• • Alenka Švab, PhD, Faculty of Humane Studies and Faculty of Social Sciences

  • Miran Možina, MD, MA, University of Sigmund Freud, Vienna

  • Katja Šugman Stubbs, PhD, Faculty of Law, University of Ljubljana

The discussion was moderated by Lea Štumberger from Svetilnik.
