You’re Invited! Public Lecture: The Orphan Industrial Complex: global orphan advocacy challenges and opportunities
Persistent narratives of ‘orphan rescue’ are driving an ‘orphan industrial complex’. Targeting ‘orphans’ for particular kinds of intervention not only commodifies orphans and orphanhood itself but—counter to its stated goal—can actually spur the “production” of “orphans”, resulting in child exploitation and trafficking. After a brief overview, Prof. Cheney will discuss recent developments in the OIC and care reform, considering the challenges and opportunities for global advocacy on behalf of children without parental care.
Join the Children’s Institute in this hybrid event on Tuesday the 9th of April 2024.
