  • Otroci, žrtve spolnih zlorab - razmišljanja o zdravju teh (pa tudi drugih) otrok v luči konvencije o otrokovih pravicah = Child victims of sexual abuse - reflections on the health of these (and other)children in the light of the convention on the rights of the child
    Selič-Zupančič, Polona
    Sociological thinking defines childhood as a construct that has undergone changes and transformations throughout history, influenced in different historical periods by a variety of factors such as ... political interests, economic conditions and cultural norms. Yet these changes do not necessarily imply a more humane understanding of childhood. The social protection and healthcare of children have come to exist within a network of professional activities that are unequivocally influenced by the state as it seeks to attain and/or preserve norms and standards of socialisation, regulation and order. Moreover, as a social group enjoying far greater power than children, adults assert their own interpretation of childhood (and social reality) without giving heed to whatever interpretations children themselves may have. In Article 24 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the signatories affirmed (among other) children's right to the highest standards of healthcareand services of institutions for the treatment of disease and medical rehabilitation, while Article 3 establishes children's welfare as the guiding principle in all activities concerned with children. A consideration of children's health and healthy children also requires the clearest possible definition of what is meant by health. If, following the World Health Organisation, we consider health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being rather than merely as an absence of illness and discomfort, we come very close to the conception of humanist psychology, which considered the purpose of life to be the development of the highest human potential. Sucha definition of health also implies that people cannot be healthy unless they live in suitable social, political and economic conditions, or in other words, unless they are capable of loving (others), working and creating. Unfortunately, however, definitions of this sort are dangerous and open to abuse. (Abstract truncated at 2000 cha
