Rickman’s manifesto argues that it’s time to stop viewing children as less than adults and start advocating for their rights as equals. Discussions will tackle questions such as: Why do some adults believe it's acceptable to hit children? Why does the school system fail so many students? And why, when their future is at stake, are children denied the right to vote?
Don't miss this opportunity to explore how we can create a future where children's rights are truly respected and upheld. For tickets and more information, visit the event website.

It’s Not Fair
Why do some adults think it’s fine to hit children? Why does the school system fail so many pupils? And when their future is on the line, why can’t children vote?
How we treat children isn’t fair. Despite the lip service paid to their rights, children are still discriminated against in every aspect of their lives: rising levels of child poverty, underfunded and outdated education and childcare systems, controlling parenting practices, and political systems that exclude their voices on issues which will affect them most — not least the climate crisis.
Children are not passive victims of oppression, but their resistance and struggle for equality has been largely ignored by the wider social justice movement — until now. In this groundbreaking manifesto, Eloise Rickman argues that it’s time to stop viewing children as less than adults and start fighting for their rights to be taken seriously.
Radical, compassionate, and profoundly hopeful, this powerful new book signals the start of a long-overdue conversation about how we treat children. Featuring practical solutions and the voices of children and adults who are working towards them, It’s Not Fair is a call to embrace children’s liberation and the possibility of a better, fairer world.
