Abstract

With theoretical terms as children in vulnerability and adults in charge the analysis examines how South Africa and Sweden has been using the UN children’s convention to empower children and for what consequences in the positioning of children that has shown. And that adults are positioned as a powerful group with a responsibilty of protecting children. However the roles of children and adults are questioned and currently changing.
