Rights of the Child and Liberalisation of the Mining Sector in Ghana

Rights of the Child and Liberalisation of the Mining Sector in Ghana - 2015.
10
This text analyses figures of childhood and parenthood in development programmes which, in the name of and through the rights of the child, intend to stop the use of child labour in small-scale mines in Africa, particularly Ghana. This article analyses the structure of these programmes and the power relations that shape them to show that they broadcast images of childhood, parenthood and work that participate in integrating the poor into a liberal mining order and in a free market economy. These populations, however, oppose to the programmes a resistance related to birthright.
