Women\u27s Rights and Children\u27s Rights: A Partnership with Benefits for Both

This article explores the connections between women\u27s rights and children\u27s rights and suggests ways in which they can complement each other thereby furthering the rights of both groups. The author begins by examining the special case of girls\u27 rights, as girls are vulnerable to exploitation as children and are also subject to the prejudicial practices that violate the rights of women. The author then discusses ways in which women\u27s rights can offer benefits for children and, in turn, how the enforcement of children\u27s rights can support the rights of women. Finally, the author examines the issue of child prostitution in Thailand, as a case study, to demonstrate how a more holistic approach to women\u27s rights and children\u27s rights can benefit all individuals
