The purpose of this conference is to bring together leaders from the fields of child rights, global health, international development, and social entrepreneurship to:
1. Discuss the nature of child poverty in the 21st century and promote awareness of children's rights and diseases that affect vision.
2. Provide a forum to explore creative, community-driven programs that address child labor, hunger, poverty and blindness.
3. Create a strong international network to support these programs and inspire humanitarian contributions on a wider scale.
4. Create a platform for all organizations, researchers, campaigners, and policymakers working in these fields to share their work and confer on finding solutions to these problems.
Past conferences at Yale University in 2006, 2009, and 2011 were successful in promoting new ideas addressing issues related to child rights and health. This year’s conference will bring together active and concerned members of the Yale community, and those from across the United States and the world to share their successes and learn about issues facing the world's children. Conference participants will learn about child rights issues as well as meet and network with other delegates concerned about child protection.
Our call for abstracts and other important information about the conference can be found below. The deadline for abstract submission is June 30, 2013. Visit our website to learn more, to register, to submit your abstract, or to discover other opportunities at the conference.
