Abstract
This last substantive chapter builds on earlier chapters and considers the insights the Ghana example, focused on in this volume, offers to the broader study of children’s rights, not only in contexts in the South, but also more generally. Specifically, it considers the implications and significance of the existence of such diversities and pluralities in childhood understandings and experiences for how we study and discuss childhoods and children’s rights in contexts of the Global South. It demonstrates the need to move away from a one-dimensional narrative about the South that foregrounds experiences of predominately marginalized childhoods and their implications for the realization of children’s rights and, instead, emphasizes the need to adopt a holistic picture that considers a range of childhood lived experiences in a given context and what that means for how we study and discuss the realization of rights.
